I was wondering if there are any companies that were hiring non software related engineers?<p>Are there any startups that are looking for Mechanical, Electrical or even Civil and Industrial Engineers? Or is HN not quite the platform for that?<p>Please forgive the implications of the title - I did not mean to imply that a developer or back end engineer is any less of an engineer.
Checkout <a href="http://www.haxlr8r.com/companies/" rel="nofollow">http://www.haxlr8r.com/companies/</a>, I bet some of them are hiring. (HAXLR8R is a venture fund which focuses on hardware startups.)
With the deluge of hardware Kickstarter projects, I'd be surprised if some of them don't have positions for EE's.<p>* btw - i love that hardware hacking is getting popular again
I'm half way through my Motorsport Design Engineering bachelor's degree course and while doing that I'm writing software for clients and for my own projects.<p>I'm hoping that I can use both my education and software skills after graduation. Preferably in my own business.
Double Robotics is hiring! We are looking for both an electrical engineer and an embedded systems programmer, each with experience in motor control algorithms and robotics. jobs@doublerobotics.com
I assumed when OP said "real engineer" they meant "drives a train". They must come from "Real America".<p>There are tons of mechanical, electrical, and other non-software engineering positions open in the US and abroad. Are you good at what you do? Better than most? Able to not come off as a tool in interviews and writing (you failed this one here, btw)?<p>And yes, HN is probably the wrong place to look for a civil engineering job. You should probably, I dunno, check civic job boards? Asce.org?<p>Every engineering profession has at least one significant "society" or non-profit group. Join it, they have a job board.
