The interview process involved 3 rounds. First was an HR interview, then a technical interview with the group leader and a technical expert, and finally, an interview with the group leader and group manager. It went well and wasn't too extensive, so just be natural and know how to think through problems.

I had a phone interview through the university of Windsor's co-op office. Because I applied via the university, I got an interview with a professor there. He did a preliminary phone interview to check if I was qualified enough to interview with the actual Schaeffler employers. It was a pretty straightforward phone interview.
