I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX in Nov 2025
Interview
25% behavioral, 75% technical questions. Was originally for a generic mechanical engineering position, but then transferred over to Dragon engineering, where additional technical questions were asked. Later pushed onto second round with Dragon mechanical engineer.

I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX (Brownsville, TX)
Interview
Asked technical questions regarding basic college engineering fundamentals, asked engineering portfolio questions regarding previous internship and project experiences, and asked hypotheticals based on what areas were owned on those projects.
First was with a lead engineer (technical), then with a recruiter (behavioral), then with another lead engineer (technical), future would have been on site. It was a very accelerated timeline and fast process.
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
