So there were 2 rounds total. First was a technical round with the department head, lasting about 45 minutes, where they asked stuff to check my technical knowledge for the job and some basic manufacturing process questions. Then, there was an HR round where they looked at my past experience, asked why I wanted this job, and some general questions about me.
