Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX (Boca Chica and Medford Colonia, TX) nel mese di nov 2023
Colloquio
1. Phone screening
2. Virtual technical interview with one engineer, question was easy.
3. Onsite interview, typical all-day interview, although no breaks making it difficult to stay on top of it for 6 hours straight. A series of engineers took turns asking technical questions within 1 hour periods. Last interview was a behavioral interview with the project manager. Extremely cool to be onsite at Starbase, the energy was there. I only fell short because I wasn't able to keep my mind at peak performance for 6 hours straight w/o any breaks so be ready for that. They really want to see how long you can perform under pressure.
Note: don't apply here if SpaceX's mission doesn't highly motivate you. It's intense is not made for the faint of heart
