Process
I was screened by HR and had two rounds of phone interviews.
These interviews involved extremely technical questions about projects I've worked on and an example question they presented to me.
Make sure to ask a lot of questions about the position and the department.
Consider sending in a portfolio or some examples of past project work.

How can you tell if it's safe to take your machinery across?
