With nearly 30 years at EchoStar, Emanuel can attest that while there are several technology companies in the Washington D.C. metro area in what he calls the Technology Corridor, it’s been EchoStar that has given him the opportunity to develop as a leader and innovate year after year.
“There’s no shortage of jobs, there’s a lot of competition in the area so it says a lot about people like myself who choose to stay at EchoStar and it is because we like the technology we work on and opportunities we’re exposed to.”

Emanuel’s experience speaks volumes about the culture at EchoStar, where diversity in technology and personal interests create an engaging work environment. Emanuel's team works with a variety of technologies, from power supplies to microprocessors and Wi-Fi. This diversity allows team members to pursue their specific interests, making their work both engaging and fulfilling. “People tend to do a better job working on things that interest them. They don’t feel like they’re being forced to work on something,” Emanuel shares.

Unlike many large organizations where projects can feel distant, at EchoStar, our teams see their work come to life. “You can take the product home, use it and tell your friends or family what you work on,” Emanuel explains. This hands-on experience and visibility provide a sense of pride and accomplishment that is rare in many tech roles.
