Over the last few days, I have been speaking with a number of recruiters I do and have done business with over the last few years. Everyone agrees that hiring in the semiconductor industry is increasing. There are many positions in the following areas.

1. Lots of analog and mixed signal design positions in Texas, Seattle, Boston, Silicon Valley, San Diego and Irvine.

2. We are starting to see ASIC design needs picking up though not at the rate of Analog Design. I think in the next few months we will see many new positions for talented and experienced ASIC design engineers.

3. Digital Circuit design openings in Texas and San Diego and lots of them in Silicon Valley.

4. Microprocessor Architect positions in Silicon Valley, Austin Texas and Boston.

There is lots of hiring going on in Irvine California as well.

Please contact me for more information about these openings and I can put you in touch with the appropriate people should your background be a match.

There are many more and you can browse the blog for them.
