Eyeing a career in telecommunications? The landscape has become even more expansive and exciting. EchoStar, a name long synonymous with innovation, increased its impact through the  transformative merger of DISH Network and EchoStar Corporation. This strategic unification has meant more than just the combination of two powerhouses, but the alignment of a portfolio of well-known and impactful brands—Boost Mobile, DISH TV, Gen Mobile, Hughes and Sling TV—all part of the singular EchoStar. This consolidation hasn’t just created a larger company; it forms a global connectivity leader, offering unparalleled opportunities for talent ready to shape the future.

 

The merger, finalized on December 31, 2023, was a deliberate move to leverage complementary assets and create a truly integrated communications leader. Prior to this, DISH Network was celebrated for its pioneering satellite television and its ambitious build-out of a nationwide 5G wireless network. EchoStar Corporation, on the other hand, was renowned for its premier satellite communications solutions, particularly through its Hughes broadband services. By bringing these entities back together, EchoStar is uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive connectivity solutions everywhere—bridging the digital divide for consumers, empowering enterprises and enabling critical government operations.
