First I had a phone screen with a recruiter. The job was for nearly the same job I was doing on a similar program at a competitor. I was pretty much a perfect fit the recruiter said. Then I had a really good call with the hiring manager, who also said I was a great fit. Then I got sent over to some weirdo for a technical screen. He asked me about 28 incredibly random questions, of which I calculated I got a 75% pass rate. Heard back from the automated system 2 days later that I was passed. The questions are posted below. I noticed not long after that this person was no longer with SpaceX, so perhaps others won't have a similar experience. The below questions took place across about 15 minutes or so.
