I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Portland, OR) in Jul 2013
Interview
Phone interview followed by on site visit. On site visit is mostly technical questions based off your resume. Be ready to answer anything you write in your resume including any math equations of calculations that may be needed to arrive at a particular result. They are very thorough.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Hillsboro, OR)
Interview
My interview process for a validation engineer started with a 30 minute phone interview with the hiring manager in which we discussed by background and current role. He also briefly went into what the posted job entailed and what type of expertise he was looking for. There were no specific technical questions but he did ask me to talk about my level of expertise for various technical aspects.
Next was the in-person interview. I had six 30-minute one-on-one interviews with different members of the team, as well as a break for lunch to speak with the hiring manager again. Each person focused on a different area of questioning, ranging from logic questions, behavioral, and technical. The logic questions were pretty standard for the industry and they're just looking to see how you think so you want to think out loud during these.
