I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Dec 2020
Interview
Three interviews with a mix of behavioral and technical questions. They interrogate you on your resume very thoroughly. Be prepared for some brain teasers, and technical questions focusing on the fundamentals of your field. I'm a mechanical engineering student, so it focused on beam bending. Also had some electrical questions thrown in there. Each interview was with a different person. First interview was the hardest.
The interview started off with the interviewer asking a few behavioral questions, with the majority of the interview consisted of technical questions about engineering fundamentals and applying them to scenarios

I applied online, and a recruiter reached out a few months later to set up my first interview with a Team Lead. It went well so I moved onto the second interview with the Team Manager. Both interviews were extremely technical and they grilled you on your projects.
