VwWorks/Linux embedded for wireless telco systems.

I think you meant VxWorks. That stuff is a pain to fix when it breaks on a device. We have over 100 wireless routers from Froundry deployed in our enterprise. They work well enough, but if the code gets corrupt and the thing won’t boot, oh my! VxWorks’ command set leaves much to be desired.

I’ll work on IOS based device recovery any day before I’ll touch VxWorks. There is a reason why these engineers are being laid off. 😛

Ok guess I’m a bit off topic here, back to your regularily scheduled programming. 😛

Sorry, I fat fingered. Yes, I meant VxWorks. Stuff made by WindRiver.

SD R, when you say two letter company in telecom, TI was the one that first pop into my head. I'm pretty sure BCOM would have no problem pick up those 200-300 engineers. They were aggressively poaching from QCOM. I hear people from QCOM getting 20+% raise if the jump to BCOM.

Are the other companies like GOOG, YHOO, etc even have a big presence here? I don't see much of them driving around. All I see is QCOM, Sony, Nokia, MOT, etc. Personally, MOT might be the one we should be watching next. They just announced another 2500 layoff, on top of the 2 layoffs they had last year. With them spinning off the wireless division, what would be a big uncertainty. There's at least 200+ in the wireless division here in SD.

 

The other question I keep on pondering about is, what will happen to QCOM when VZW goes to LTE for their next generation. The no long have the strangle hold they do now with CDMA.

 

AN,

BRCM may very well soon to be having a hiring freeze. There was a time when disgruntled QC senior engineers who kept getting passed for promotion where being offered double promotions 20% salary adjustments so I heard by jumping to broadcom. It reminds me of those days when QC people got sold to ericsson and stayed there because ericcson threw double promotions and highly inflated salaries to keep people from quiting. We all know what ended up happening to those folks from Ericcson. I wonder if a similar fate for some brcm people if they ever reduce headcount too.

The problem with a lot of these companies in SD is that they aren't headquartered here. They have smaller sattelite offices in SD, which when push comes to shove, will be shut down if the economy is tough. Ericsson, TI (which was a company TI bought), even BRCM.

Qualcomm is an exception and probably the bellweather out here. And that is the carrot stick they love to dangle, even when I was there in the early 90ies. I remember a job fair they had back in 2003 or 4 (I forget when exactly), when over 600 people showed up for roughly 60 positions. But those that know, also know it's a big company now. And it seems like they're becoming the microsoft of wireless, big company, limited upside that quickly needs to reinvent themselves for the next gen stuff. Well, it's no different that Microsoft or any other big company for that matter. As far as other companies. Here's what I know (wireless telco's and defense companies excluded).

 

 

*Sun: very small support office. Did some support and hardware firmware code maintenance. Had massive layoffs a few years ago, and are basically still out here only for support.

 

*Cisco: very small support office in Carmel Valley

*Intuit: off 56 freeway. is a fairly large employer out here. While hq'd in Mountain View, they bought Chipsoft awhile back ago based here, which made TurboTax. As such, san diego's site is probably the second largest site next to the Mountain View.

*Yahoo: Carlsbad and Rancho Bernardo: has a presence of about 150-200 people out here in san diego (at least last time I checked). Part of the group up in Carlesbad does Search Marketing and was part of Overture that was bought by Yahoo. The other half was part of a Yahoo Music (formerly Musicmatch). Well, we know what's currently going on with Yahoo, or I should say soon to be MicroHoo, or GoogHoo, or YaAOL. So it will be interesting to see what happens here.

*Divx: UTC area. They Ipoed last year, and did ok last year. I heard they just went through a RIF.

*Pricegrabber.com: UTC area. Don't know size.

*WebSense: Sorrento Valley. fairly large office (internet security and web filtering. You probably don't know them, but most companies use them to prevent you from looking at porn at work).

*Google: Irvine. not sure about what they do in Irvine. One of these days, I'll take them up on the interview offer.

*IBM (don't know location) is out here in a big way as an IT consulting arm.

*FairIssacs (Carmel Valley): though I hear they regularly go through a RIF.

*HP (Carmel Valley, Rancho Bernardo) has a pretty big presence here.

1) Printer division is out here

2) They bought Peregrine Systems as they try to move into Enterprise Software/Sass (remember them?? Hint fraud/accounting scandal).

3) They also bought a few small mobile value add service companies, like Bitfone.

*Kodak (Rancho Bernardo) though the company is on life support

There are a bunch of other companies from the bay area that farms out work down here. Bay area people like to hop around, companies find people slightly more reliable down here, and slightly cheaper.

* Some media companies

Real/Rhapsody

Veoh (Based in san diego with offices in L.A.)
PacketVideo

* Storage companies

*NetApp: very small support office in Carmel Valley

*EMC: small office i think

*DotHill

 

I guess it's not all doom and gloom. I guess from my observation, most of the non-embedded (enterprise/web 2.0 software type) positions have already gone through some drastic cuts here around 2004, that sometimes there are skills shortages and in some cases we're hiring.
