Austin jobs, Engineering Options

[Spectatrix]

I've pretty much decided that I want to work in Austin after I graduate this december. I know, I know, I posted a jobs thread a few months back, but this is a bit more specific. I'm trying to find places in Austin to apply as an entry-level mechanical engineer. Thus far I've applied to:

Accenture
Dell
L-3
Motion Computing
Motorola
National Instruments
Samsung
Signature Sciences, LLC
Texas Instruments
URS

6 of those I've applied for specific positions with, the other 4 just submitted my resume in general. Any other suggestions? I've looked up some of the other big companies, but not found any relevant jobs. I'm sure there are places I'm overlooking.

i can't speak for the huge companies, but i can say small is pretty nice. especially as a sw developer. if you can find a small, stable company, that's big time job security. and don't let "small" make you think opportunity is minimal, I don't have all that much room to move up per se, but i've gotten a shit ton of raises and my company takes very good care of me (went home for six weeks last year for back surgery and didn't miss a paycheck). small companies will tend to see your worth and make sure you get what you deserve.
