Tell me about an error or mistake you made because of a breakdown in communication from you or one of your team members.

On occasion, mistakes will happen and communication will be broken. Talk to the interviewer about a time that this occurred in the workplace. It's important to own up to your mistakes quickly as an engineer so that it can be taken care of before it snowballs and has farther reaching effects on the project. Every engineer will make a mistake at some point in their career, so remember that it's not the mistakes that define you, but how you respond to them.
