I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cymer in Sep 2012
Interview
I applied online through the cymer.com website. I received a call from the hiring manager within a month of submitting my application. That call was basically my phone interview which lasted about 30 minutes. In that interview they described the position in more detail and asked about my experience troubleshooting systems. Then an HR representative contacted me a couple of days after to set up my interviews. The onsite interview consisted of half hour individual interviews with 4 people which included 1 with HR. The questions both technical and professional were very open ended but I was asked for detail in my engineering experience.

Interview
I had 3 phone interviews: 2 of them with current Test Engineers and one with an HR representative at different times. The first phone interview lasted 45 minutes and the other one lasted a bit more than an hour. There were technical questions involved as well as questions about the position description in resume. They were really easygoing and the interview process was well structured.
