Then you either aren’t aware of many companies on the list or have a strong SW bias in the types of jobs/companies you have knowledge of. I’ve worked for some of the companies on the list and know quite a few HW EEs who have worked for other companies on the list. Nearly all of the companies I am familiar with employ some HW EEs for related positions, which makes sense when you consider that their origin relates to Linkabit. Most of them also employ SW engs, but that doesn’t mean that there are no HW EE positions.</p>

The ones that are not highlighted may not meet your criteria for HW, nevertheless, they still offer HW engineering related jobs. For example, a quote from an open job listing for a staff electrical engineer at Cymer is below.</p>
<p>“Participates in the design, development, maintenance, testing and manufacturing support of Control Systems for DUV and EUV light sources. Contributes to the design of the integrated light source system control system, hardware architecture, modules, and elements; provides engineering support for product’s full life cycle. Participates in cross-functional Program teams and works with suppliers and other engineering groups to define, create and implement Controls and Electrical Systems designs and associated engineering and manufacturing documentation. Technologies include cPCI, PC104, other bus structures, Ethernet, photo-detectors, differential signaling, wideband circuits; high speed embedded computing, VHDL Logic Design, distributed signal acquisition, and signal integrity in a noisy environment.”</p>
