I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I met a manufacturing engineer at a professional meeting, and later contacted him by email. He interviewed me over the phone, and I then interviewed his manager and the VP in two separate phone calls. The first interview was a mix of specific technical and personal questions, the second was quite relaxed, and the third involved general technical questions.
