I went through a few rounds of interviews. First, they asked me some technical questions about basic mechanical engineering concepts and how to interpret technical drawings. Then, they asked me about how I would handle a typical issue that might come up with one of their products.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
So first I had a phone screen with HR, then a phone screen with the hiring manager. After that, it was a virtual video interview which was split up. I had an hour with the hiring manager, then half an hour with another manager. Then there was a half hour technical interview with two engineers, and then another half hour interview with two more engineers. After that, I met with HR for 45 minutes. Finally, I had a 30-minute technical presentation on a topic I chose for a panel of over 10 people, though I'm not sure of the exact number.
