Can I Get A Job At SpaceX After Graduating From A Low-Ranked Engineering Program?

Answer by Dolly Singh, Former Head of Talent Acq. at SpaceX, on Quora,
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 you’ll 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.
Once within the top program populations, we again filter aggressively based on:
1. Hands on hardware/software development exp – i.e. What problems have you actually encountered and solved?
2. Experience with engineering competitions, and placement in top positions/ brackets at those competitions
3. GPA/ SAT – other hard scores
4. Drive/ Grit
The reality is that SpaceX makes some of the most magnificent machines on the planet (and beyond – yes, pun intended :). So the world’s best engineers want to work there. That paired with what I’ve 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.
So – again, do not underestimate the challenge that lies before you.
That said- where there is a will, there is a way.
Here are some things which you can consider:

这里的大藤不是传统的8所,而是HYPMS,MS是工程的TOP 2,UCB第三

这样找来的学生会读书,不会创新的。再说也不是非挤进这一家公司的。中国人就喜欢瞎扎堆
