Fast-paced interview with many technical questions. Started off with questions about my resume and past experience then transitioned to a mix of technical mechanical design questions. Nothing was terribly difficult there was just a large variety in the kinds of questions asked and their specific topics.

Question 1
Failure mechanisms for cylindrical pressure vessels.
4-5 Calls with technical and behavioral recruiter followed by design project (4-5 hrs of work) and final interview on site. Technical questions required thought and coursework to answer successfully. Design project was a serious undertaking that took more time.

Interview
Reached out to a recruiter who set me up for an interview with a Starlink engineer. Went okay, asked a few technical questions and a few behavioural questions. Was a little informal but overall not the worst interview in the world.
