Anyone know of any place in North America that is hiring computer engineers? I have a friend who just graduated from U of Manitoba and is looking for a job. He's applied to a bunch of places already - seems people want programmers more than engineers though, which isn't really what he wants.

Intel or Sun? Both have offices in the Portland, OR area.
I assume you mean he is looking for places that still focus on hardware.Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra 9, Opteron 170 Denmark 2x2Ghz, 2 GB Corsair XMS, Gigabyte 6600, Gentoo Linux
Motion Computing M1400 -- Tablet PC, Ubuntu Linux

Yeah, definitely something more hardware-ish. In Canada if possible too, but I think he is flexible.

Raytheon is always hiring various engineers also. They have locations across the country, but primarily in the northeast.Comment

How about GE Fanuc? or Rockwell Automation? PLC field engineering? For Industry That way you get satisfaction when something works, or the plant gets comissioned etc. And you will deal with lots of different things. Maybe after get into telemetry. Plus it's more understandable for mere mortals.______________________________

I've been looking towards Canada, in the same line of work (more hardware than software), and have seen a lot of software jobs, but not many hardware jobs.
Can anyone recommend a 'Head Hunter' company in Canada ?
One of those places that will find you jobs, in exchange for part of your salary for the first 6-9 months...
I'm not very trustworthy of the websites thrown up by google...
It would probably help your friend also. Its how my brother got his job in the UK, very little hassle, and you get the job of your choice, from a handful they present you with.
Cheers,
Jez

SpaceX is hiring software engineers, structural engineers and other staff for LA and other locations (Texas, Cape Canaveral etc.). The LA facility they're moving into this summer is 500,000 sq/ft, so it needs 'populating'.
This was announced in a recent SpaceShow interview with one of their execs; Gwynn Shotwell. Last I heard they'e hiring ~200 new people so they can get the Falcon 9 booster and Dragon spaceship ready by late 2008.
IIRC the software will be avionics related, but they're also building their own avionics, guidance, control & launch systems hardware.
