Process
I was contacted over two months after submitting my CV.
The first phone interview was with a senior hardware engineer who asked many technical questions about the projects listed on my CV.
The second phone interview was with the group manager and focused entirely on the position itself, with only a few technical questions. The interviews were not difficult, and both interviewers were very nice.
Questions
Even though my previous projects are not relevant to what they are doing, they still asked very good and deep questions. And they understood everything.
