I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SpaceX in Sept 2013
Interview
I talked to the recruiter for the site, then the manager, then the director. Each of them asked questions based on personality, technical knowledge, and information regarding what my resume had on it and if I knew much about it. It was all done with phone interviews. They were all really busy so the interviews were not all that long,
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If I had seen any engineering drawings and knew how to read them. Also if I knew anything about quality engineering.
