Electrical Engineering - Austin area

Does anyone know the best companies hiring right now or does anyone have any inside experience. I'm almost done with school at ITT Tech.

Check with the Human Resources people over at Applied Materials. I know they have a pretty good feel for what's available in the Austin and Round Rock area.

Sent resume to Applied materials, no response. Got like a 3 minute phone interview with Samsung, nothing. Sent resume to National Instruments and they responded with a lengthy interested email and they asked when I'm available for a 30 minute phone interview. Looks like NI it is.

What type of work are you looking for? There's lots of companies in the Austin area to check out. AMD, Freescale, IBM, just to name a few...

I had no idea ITT did engineering degrees. I had to look that up. Not saying you fall into this category, but I've interviewed quite a few people with ITT certs and degrees and have found them... lacking. Good thing I don't put much faith in formal education anyways

There are a lot of lacking people at ITT, not going to lie. I'm not one of them though. I'm on the honors which is 6 people out of over 600 students. I won't be technically and electrical engineer unless I get my bachelors and NI knows that. They are calling me tomorrow for my interview. To me AMD, Freescale, and IBM all fall under that "Dell" category. I might end up moving one day to work for GE or GD.
