Most positions at SpaceX have the basic educational requirements of a Bachelor's degree, with the preferred qualifications of a Master's degree or Ph.D. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the job posting and job description provided by SpaceX to ensure that you have the proper educational requirements. If you fall short in their preferred qualifications, make sure that before your interview, you consider how your unique experience, qualifications, or talents make up for that shortfall. Do your best to convince them why you are the best candidate for the job.

" I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology and M.S. in Advanced Technology. Both of my degrees involve more than just engineering work, they involve hands-on with machining. This helped me build a comradery with machinists because I am not just working in the 3D space, but I have an idea of how to machine it in reality as well."
