If you are applying for a data engineering roles - technical questions will be around - Database schemas, Data Modelling approaches, Data validation, challenges that you have faced while performing data modelling. How do you design entire ETL process? How the schema will look like? What tools would you use? Behavioral questions can be anything - you don't have to prepare for this. Just be yourself, be authentic. I feel there is no right or wrong answers to these questions.
