Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto 7 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) nel mese di ott 2012
Colloquio
Talked to representatives during University career fair, got a phone interview 4 weeks later with a manager. Interview was simple, talk about your resume and experience, plus some technical questions. Got a 2nd phone interview with another engineer in the same department. Interview for ~ 1 hr, very technical interview, talked mostly about what was on my resume and went on detail about it. Be ready to know in-depth knowledge of what's on your resume and link it to how it will be useful at SpaceX. On other words, know what you are talking about, no hand-waving.

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

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.

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.
