I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DCA Design (Warwick, West Midlands, England) in Jan 2025
Interview
Pre-interview assessment questions (maths and mechanics), then a 2 hour in person interview with a panel of 2 people which included CV discussion, reviewing the pre-assessment questions and another 20 minute technical exercise (sketching mechanism design concepts).

I interviewed at DCA Design (Warwick, West Midlands, England)
Interview
It lasted 3 hours I think, first with the usual behaviour questions, then technical ones and a tour of the office. The behavioural were the usual stuff (Tell me about yourself etc...), while the technical ones can be found online, and involve mechanics questions.
