Some of the best information/advice Ive come across when researching SpaceX, as explained by an ex-recruiter for SpaceX: I ran recruiting at SpaceX for almost 6 years; everything about how they recruit is part of the footprint myself and my team created - so hopefully youll find this input helpful, though it will only magnify the challenge that lies before you. SpaceX aggressively pursues top collegiate talent; but because the hiring bar (mandate per Elon) is top 1% of the human population - we focus on top ranked engineering programs because their strict acceptance requirements are a good prefilter and remove 90% of the bell curve, thereby automatically bringing us to about top 10% of the college population; making our haystack much smaller and thus easier to find the proverbial needles. The reality is that SpaceX makes some of the most magnificent machines on the planet (and beyond - yes, pun intended :). So the worlds best engineers want to work there. That paired with what Ive already stated means there is both an ability and a necessity to only hire people after they have in some way demonstrated themselves to be truly exceptional.
