[@nostop4205]

I hope playing Kerbal Space Program will increase my chance of getting a job here :P

[@lucaswilson3045]

No Stop actually it probably will, when I worked at the European space agency, some of the other interns used a heavily modded version for astronaut training

[@silvio4845]

That sounds cool! Do you have a contact to these people maybe? I d like to see their modded Kerbal Space Program.

[@KK2004-]

Update?

[@lithium1770]

This is my short term goal.

[@Drensworth]

My aspiration is to work for SpaceX some day. All of my science fair projects have been about their rockets. You guys do great work, and conveniently are always developping new technologies and providing me with material for my projects. Thank you :P

[@colewillingham4932]

Update?

[@aaronhighway162]

Did you make it?

[@pascalarancibia5199]

You achieved it?

[@aryyyyuh]

I’m a 14 year old girl from England and I’ve always been obsessed with space, science, astronomy, coding and engineering so I’m hoping that one day I will get a job at space x, and I know that they are only able to hire American citizens so I’m going to move the US when I’m able to so I can fulfill my dreams 💕

[@hl6283]

Go for it! I was recently hired and it’s great. We don’t have enough women in the field but I believe in you and you can do it. See you there when you finish school

[@lithium1770]

Now that you are 16 you can start looking for university options that will kead you there.

[@myhandle370]

Damn, I did not know SpaceX also does internship and cool events! I wasn't seeing it as a usual big high-tech company, which it actually really is.

[@Thunderchicken69]

I'm going to try to get an internship, and eventually work at SpaceX as a welding engineer.

[@MrPrat777]

Moral: If you play with legos during childhood, either you end up at Spacex or a Deep learning engineer 😂🙏

[@ccricers]

Astro-engineer in your second life? Screw that, you should plan it in this life if you're enthusiastic enough. Take myself, web developer with an art degree, stuck in an industry where there is little slack for under-experienced workers. I plan to get a degree in electrical or mech. engineering and work my way up there!

[@KK2004-]

Update?

[@chrisdonald14]

I changed my Major to Electrical Engineering a year ago (so I'm not as passionate as the students here), bit this would be cool place to intern at

[@suomik1988]

Read some of the employee reviews of SpaceX on glassdor.... I would never work for SpaceX.

[@beckb4961]

All of my essays at school i have wrote have been about some aspect of the rocket industry that spacex has revolutionized. I hope one day i will be on the team!

[@Baradur10]

whoa. Did not realize how unoriginal engineer's early personal experiences were.

[@barnabaskral]

when those guys get home after a hard day at work, they probably build rockets in kerbal space program😂

[@mattprice516]

Depends if you can do the work - your coursework likely won't have much on design and common practices, but you'll certainly understand the necessary concepts. Besides - the worst they can say is no. Disclaimer: They really do like people with previous internship experience or work in engineering-oriented teams such as SAE, so you'll definitely have your work cut out for you if you don't have experience.

[@kedarprabhu1199]

I guess I'd have to take American Citizenship...just so I can be eligible to apply at SpaceX !!

[@GubeTube19]

Kedar Prabhu apparently it would still br hard. The design and construction of rockets is considered very similar to "military" equipment and technology development so it is a touchy field of work that caters to home born Americans. Kinda weird

[@Thunderchicken69]

They're contracted out by the military and NASA so unless your the second Eisenstein, good luck my friend.

[@evanr32]

They required to only accept applicants with US citizenship since the Air Force is a customer

[@SuperPowerKiwi]

Before you are so eager to work there, read the reviews of what it is like to work there. It is the sweatshop of aerospace companies.

[@ItsNotAllRainbows_and_Unicorns]

+SuperPowerKiwi Seems salary is an issue. As one reviewer put it: Relatively low, and it stays low. Depending where one is working, it could be quite the burden. On the other hand, one can walk out learning a lot if they are self motivated and can cut through the BS.

[@SuperPowerKiwi]

Paul Bevillard And immature management issues, wrong quality hierarchy, extreme workhours. the list can get long

[@ibrahimh.2828]

Well, it's a company with an eager mission. When you want to do something that most say is impossible, you're going to bust your ass non-stop. If you truly enjoy engineering you will love it, if you just want to be an engineer for the money then you'll have to find a less eager company.

[@SuperPowerKiwi]

Perhaps, but the two must not always be related. You can still have good and mature management, a LOGICAL chain of command, and paid overtime. That has nothing to do with enthusiasm, that has to do with work ethics. Having immature management, love intrigues etc that make the social atmosphere childish, which is alot of the complaints, is something else entirely

[@scottgauer7299]

If you want to have a cozy aerospace job where you just make lots of money sitting at a desk go work for Boeing or something like that. SpaceX might not pay as well, but you're going to be directly working with hardware that flies in space and furthering technology with the goal of getting to Mars, so there's that.

[@doubleohasian]

I see a lot of people providing negative feedback to this. I understand that there are drawbacks to every career. However, my priorities lie elsewhere than the majority of complaints posted in reviews. As long as I can live comfortably, as well as have an opportunity to continue to learn I am in. I'm currently a mobile emergency MV power generation instrumentation and automation technician in the US Army Corps of Engineers. I am transitioning from the Army in about a year. I am working on my EE bachelors. I plan on applying for internships as soon as possible. SpaceX HR, I would be thrilled to hear from you. You'll be seeing my resume soon as I transition Nov. 2017.

[@adastraperaspera99]

[@justandyhere3561]

[@zynthos9]

Nobody mentioned the crazy work hours

[@Dawa202]

+Zambia95 What are they?

[@zynthos9]

Dawie de Villiers 60-80 hours a week regularly is what I was told when I interviewed

[@Dawa202]

wow... ok nevermind then :D Well I have major major mega respect for Elon but I did hear he is quite ruthless as a boss sometimes and he works super hard

[@karbon9703]

+Zambia95 It's not like working at McDonalds or some call center or anything. 60-80 hour workweeks working for a company that is actually pushing the human race forward and doing great things! :)

[@malcolmsmith6380]

+Zambia95 What are you doing in those 60-80 hours. If its full on then fair enough that's really brutal but if for a lot of that time your at the bar on stand by or playing on an Xbox while weighting for something to compile software to lode or something to cool down or maybe set for carbon fibre before you can get back to work then its not so bad then a lot of it would be more like being on call.

[@GeovaniNogueira]

I just wish to help this company as those guys are doing, by the way it;s not only a work when you are in an company where dreams come true, it's a life opportunity!

[@FromTskhinval]

Agree with you. I wish I could ever taste this feeling of being implicated to something indeed important for the progress and future of humankind.

[@cosmicjoshgaming3655]

Do I have to take advanced classes, take the SAT, play sports, and take AP classes to get in SpaceX? I want to persue my dream as an engineer and all that is just making me doubt myself from achieving it .

[@Wilge_Zomer]

I’d love to work there! But Im from the netherlands so I guess I wont be making any Rockets soon 😢

[@shanake]

[@Smiley_101]

My oldest play Lego till he 9mos old and got his first iPad 1 .. all my kids play iPad and computers before they even start kindergarten . When I used to have money I buy them a new iPad every Xmas.. but now I see them pretty much ahead of their peers . Had my kids have the opportunity to be discovered the sky is the limits for them and not at all in their mom to claim such thing but they are very up there with normality type of kids . Some kids when they too smart they be come a bit uhm something not normal of them n I wouldn’t want my kids to be like that so I never push them to rush through schools but have them enjoy it bc there no rush . I don’t think someone 14 yrs of age n discovered to a genius can do well in later years than a child just go to grade schools n learn all the basics . I always believed get all that basics in then everything become naturally easy and you won’t struggles as much when things get complex

[@gerryhudak]

Find a hands-on project outside the classroom that you're passionate about, and pursue it. As you can see from the video, alot of the interns at SpaceX are involved in extracurricular engineering design teams that take what theories and principles are taught in the classroom, and apply them to real life engineering issues.

[@d5240f4]

Since I made this comment, I got a engineering internship at a company called Mahindra GenZe, and im currently doing the NASA space colony competition with a few friends. Do you think im on the right track? Thank you for your advice!
