I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Linear Technology (North Chelmsford, MA) in May 2010
Interview
Very thorough, lasted half a day with several people. I had to demonstrate knowledge of the subject I would be working with, personal attributes, work ethic, published articles, schematic diagrams, source code and working examples of projects I had done.
