My first contact was an HR style conversation about why I wanted Airbus, why I wanted the role, and why my location choice mattered. There were competency questions too, including a "tell me a time when" prompt.

Later I spoke with someone in a manager type role. I was nervous that the discussion would be too technical, but they mostly explained the job and the profile they were looking for. I used examples from my background to show where I fit. The conversation stayed informal, although the competency element was still there.

The technical part was more about situations and job context, especially a flight or operational setting, than deep engineering calculations. I answered scenario prompts by tying them back to projects on my resume. I thought it was a good experience, even though it had been hard to judge the difficulty beforehand.

Location: United Kingdom. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: got offer.
