Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX nel mese di mar 2024
Colloquio
1 - Recruiter prescreening
2 - 4 hour assessment
3 - technical calls
recruiter call took around 30 minutes, 4 hour assessment took 2 hours, and the technical calls were 45 minutes.
The assessment was a satellite coding challenge regarding making connections between satellites and users (python or C++). I saw another post on here better describing the assessment in detail.
The technical calls both started asking about a project you worked on. First got more into details of "describe as if you were onboarding this to someone new" second was moreso "what would you have done differently." Later they asked technical questions regarding things taught in college (be prepared to brush up on old notes), but not as practical in my career- what is a linked list? what is a page fault? difference between threads vs processes? how do processes communicate? are there issues with threading in python? difference between tcp and udp?
Recruiting Call -> Several rounds of technical interview: very fundamental questions that probe your conceptual understanding. Make sure to study / review first principles as it gets theorectical. Quick 30 minute phone calls

I applied for Software Engineer Data position. It was fine. 1 hour leetcode style interview on codility. The difficulty was medium. I had an alright experience. Was able to get brute force but not optimized solution.

Colloquio
Recruiter screen was a lot of trivia, very basic trivia that any software engineer should know so make sure to read up on some python syntax etc. to be able to answer the trivia questions. can be tricky given time limit
