Talk to the interviewer about a time that you have problem solved in a creative way. Highlight the specific challenges you faced on the project and how your approach deviated from your typical work. Explain how your creative problem solving pleased the client or helped your company improve its market position. If your solution won any awards or was featured in engineering publications, mention that.
