Interview
First I received an email about setting up a time for phone screening. The phone screening was some hr rep from corporate asking general resume, salary, benefits questions. A few days after the phone screening I was emailed about scheduling a video interview which the only time slots were 2+ weeks out. The video interview consisted mainly of behavioral questions , and a few technical questions mainly based on my current role and experience related to the job. It was an engineering director and engineering manager. 1 hour was them asking me questions, then I had 30 minutes to ask them questions.

Tell me about LEAN manufacturing and why it is important?
Short intro question, followed by some behavioural competency questions (tell me about a time when you....), then some technical questions relevant to the casting process. I had 2 people interview me, and it was standard interview style (no assessment centre or pre-work for this particular role, although they do run recruitment that way more often now).
