Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA)
Colloquio
Recruiter reached out for an interview. Met up with 2 engineers. They generally format intern interviews as such: ask about a project on your resume which they deep dive into and then ask some very basic technical questions (cantilever deflection, material properties, etc) to probe your thinking. You can guess the type of questions you may get depending on the role. Manufacturing/ mechanical can probably expect mechanics of material while avionics, electrical can expect circuits.
Interviewer was easy to talk to and super nice. Prep well for it and you’ll do fine, intern interviews aren’t as hard as job interviews.

Domanda 1
Go over a project on your resume in depth you’re proud of.
Point load on cantilever.
Differences between 2 properties.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX nel mese di apr 2026
Colloquio
40 minute long call with an engineer. First, we mainly talked about my experience within a technical organization. Followed up with rapid fire technical questions and then he asked for any questions from me. We had some extra time left over and he gave me the opportunity to talk about the next most important on my resume

Domanda 1
You have a beam that is rigidly support on both sides. How much does the deflection change if you have a point load in the middle compared to a uniform load across the beam

Colloquio
Interview process was good and smooth
. It consisted of 3 rounds. The questions were a combination of general technical questions, project related technical questions, and two or so behavioral questions.

Domanda 1
Where is the point of highest stress when a cantilever is loaded downward at the far edge of the beam?
2 technical rounds, both were 45 minutes long. Asked basic engineering questions (cantallevered beam, flow through a pipe, hydraulics) and increasingly got difficult. Must know first princple engineering to pass interview.
