Entretien
I applied online and was offered an interview. The first interview was with a recruiter who basically just ran through your resume. A few days later I had a second interview with an engineering lead, which was more difficult. They mainly asked about manufacturing experience and how I would go about deciding how to manufacture designs. They also asked me several engineering problem solving questions.
