It was very technical, requiring logical answers. They really focused on core mechanics and thermodynamics. Your communication skills are also super important, and you have to be strong in the basics. There were about 3 or 4 rounds, including a divisional one.

I applied online and heard back from someone administrative a couple weeks later to set up a phone interview, which felt pretty fast. The interview had 3 senior engineers, one of whom would be my manager. They asked a bunch of questions, rotating who asked. They were good about not dwelling on mistakes and moved on quickly if I struggled. Their feedback was helpful, not harsh. As it became clear I was doing well, they started talking about the project I'd work on and why I'd like the job and the city. A week later, a young engineer called to chat more about the relaxed culture, why I'd enjoy working there, and practical stuff like finding a place to live. Overall, it was a fast and pleasant experience.

The interview process was good with 2 rounds of screening. First, I spoke with the project manager who asked questions related to the job description. Second, I interviewed with the Hiring Manager. I received a call saying I was selected, but after one month, they contacted me again to say the role had been closed and apologized.
