Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX nel mese di gen 2021
Colloquio
Screening calls with recruiter and hiring manager before three technical interviews with various lead/senior engineers. Then a technical presentation and an on-site interview. Wait time between interviews was anywhere between a couple days to a week and a half. Interviews were pretty interesting and the whole process was actually kind of fun (until I got rejected, rip).

You're sitting in a canoe inside an above-ground pool holding a bowling ball. You drop the bowling ball. What happens to the water level of the pool?
Lots of questions on previous projects.
Some questions on basic engineering (i.e., cantilever beam, hoop stress, effects of thermal loads, etc.).
Applied online and got a response in a few days. It was a screening call and then two technicals before the in person presentations. They were very serious and there was a lot of technical questions.
