Applied online, contacted a couple of weeks later by recruiter. Had a phone interview with the hiring manager consisting of some basic technical questions and talked about my experience. Then had about a week to complete a design project and presentation. Once that was submitted I was invited to interview in person. In person interview consisted of about 7 1:1 or 2:1 interviews. In each case we talked about 1/3 of the time on past projects I had worked on, and spent a bit of the time with technical questions and then each interviewer would present a component and ask how it was made. Definitely be able to justify and explain each material and design decisions on past projects that you talk about. Also should be very familiar with casting and other metal manufacturing processes. The day also included lunch with several members of their team conducting an informal group interview. My interview ended after this stage but if it had continued there would have been additional day to present the design project to a group of their engineers.

The interview went well overall. The interviewer opened with a discussion about a project I'm proud of, then a beam scenario question that covered structural and load analysis, stress and deflection, and material selection — testing my ability to connect first-principles thinking across the full problem space.
