The interview process, for me, consisted of four parts: 1.) Initial phone screen with the hiring manager. The interview was a mixture of technical questions and motivation. 2.) Technical phone screen; deep-dived into a technical project. This was solely technical and I was not asked any behavioral questions. 3.) On-site panel interview followed by 1:1s with people on the panel. The panel presentation was 50 minutes and focused on a technical topic that I presented on, then I had 1:1s with the people on the panel. Questions were largely technical and based on the topic I presented on, or adjacent topics that came up during conversation. 4.) "Executive Phone Screen" with a Director. Asked a lot of seemingly random questions that seemed aimed at probing my personal motivation. No real technical questions asked.

I only had an initial screening interview for this position before deciding to pursue a different role at SpaceX, since candidates can only interview for one position at a time. The screening lasted about 30 minutes and consisted mostly of behavioral questions, along with a few technical questions.
