I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at National Instruments (Austin, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
First round interview was at school campus. A few behavioral and technical questions.
Second round was at Austin, TX. Five half hour interviews in one day, and a 10 minute technical presentation on a topic of your choosing. Software/Hardware and some departmental interviews.
Response time was very quick, but not a lot of time given to prepare for interviews before. Everyone I interviewed with was extremely kind and casual.

Question 1
What components would you need to set up an air conditioner, and how would you do so? Note: They were pretty good at helping think through the problem and explaining things if you didn't know. I didn't know 100% of the answer.

I applied online. I interviewed at National Instruments
Interview
1) Telephone interview. Mostly competency based stuff. eg. Tell me a time teamwork/customer service etc...
2) Online technical test. Covers a wide range of subjects. Mechanical, computer science, electronics etc. also some IQ kind of questions (thinking logically etc...). Don't have to get everything right. Should be fine if you just focus on the studies from whatever degree you studying for.
3) assessment day. technical presentation that you have to prepare before hand. A fun tour of NI office. Technical test. face to face interview.

Interview
Initial Phone interview- asked about resume contents and the experience you have listed on your resume. Part-technical depending mostly on what you have on your resume.
Onsite Technical interview-covered range of topics from software to hardware (mostly DSP)
Topics here are mostly ADC and DAC. There is also minimal computation.
Panel Interview-asked to present topics of choice
Grilled on this part depending on what you have presented. I would advice to study the material really well since interviewer seems to know a broad range of topic.
