I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EchoStar in Sept 2008
Interview
I met them at a job fair. Scheduled an interview. Interview went great and I was sent off for a basic skills test and then a drug test. 2 weeks or so later I was called and offered the position. Initially everyone seemed very nice and cordial. They gave me a tour of the facility which was very impressive.

Your experience though similar to the technology we use is not directly used here. What can you tell us that would make us think you could be successful here.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EchoStar (Cheyenne, WY) in Jan 2011
Interview
I had two phone interviews last around an hour each. After the second interview I made numerous attempts to speak to someone regarding the position without any luck. The managing engineer kept saying he would call back, but that they were extremely busy.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at EchoStar (Cheyenne, WY) in Apr 2010
Interview
Very informal, took 6 months of me calling every week to get information out of the company. Simple face to face interview with them concentrating on my team work skills rather than technical skills.

Question 1
Was I looking to stay at the company longer than a year or two. I informed them that would depend on how the environment and job satisfaction was, and if compensation was adequate.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at EchoStar in Jan 2010
Interview
Two phone interviews, with HR and hiring manager. Basic HR questions such as your weaknesses and strengths, nothing too bad. The other phone interview consisted with questions related to your previous work. Then in person interviews and a 1 hour long skill test. Lots of questions related to your previous work.
For the skills test, make sure you prepare and start hitting the books. It covers quite a lot from digital logic, to BJT transistor circuits, power electronics, and some op amp applications.
