I emailed castAR last month asking about positions in hardware/embedded dev for new grads, but I didn't hear anything back. I tried both careers@ and jobs@ email addresses.
Same here! But I start working in mid-February. Wanna spend the winter hacking away? Maybe we'll get something useful out of it, perhaps even a semester at YC :P
Aren't bigger companies also looking for people who have a solid foundation in algorithms/data structures? Since most of my work has been in hardware, I haven't had a chance to apply these concepts extensively.
Which bigger companies would you recommend given my past experience?
I also feel that all I need is a chance and then I will learn and adapt as is expected by the job and the company. Is this something most other people also feel?
Most of my experience has been in hardware design and low level programming, however I am trying to expand my horizons by learning more about artificial intelligence and machine learning. So I would like to work for someone working in those fields. However, I am open to any and all options because I really want to get a feel for what the technology culture on the West Coast is like.
