I was first contacted by a recruiter who then passed me onto one of the lead engineers of a project. In that interview, I was asked a series of questions over a span of thirty minutes
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The questions consisted of why you measure with numbers up with a tape measure, what you need to know to measure deflection of a beam with a force acting on it, and how to design a ring attached to a harness to withstand 5000 pounds

Entretien
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
Rigorous but fairly reasonable in my experience. The technical problems often has a twist but if you have strong fundamentals you should be able to perform well. The recruiter and interviewers I interacted with are all very nice people.
