Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was in-person. There were 4 interviewers in total: one from HR, one professional engineer, and two co-op students who are interning for the position they are hiring for next year. They started with basic behavioral questions, then went into an in-depth description and Q&A about my resume, and finished with a 10-minute presentation on a topic I was told to research.

Technical Behavioral Other
I applied online on the Safran website. I got a call back within 2 days. Then there were 2 interviews with department managers, one of which included a technical expert who asked me technical questions about research topics on my CV. Finally, 2 HR interviews: one with group HR, then with site HR. I also did an eLAO language test and a behavioral test. Overall, the recruitment process was efficient and coherent.
