Engineer Training Program

Boeing

I am a college recruiter for the Communications and Networks Systems Engineering group within Boeing's Satellite Development Center in El Segundo, CA (Los Angeles County). I'm starting once again my recruiting efforts for this term for positions to start any time in 2008.

I am recruiting Electrical Engineers / ECEs (as well as Physics majors) for entry-level positions for Communication & Sensors job opportunities. We'd like to receive resumes for review, and one of my engineers will contact candidates by phone. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in facilitating collecting resumes and sending them to me. Individual resumes can be emailed to me at maria.kludt@boeing.com. For bundled resumes, please email to BoeingSDC@charter.net; Boeing has strict restrictions on file size, etc.

I've attached the job description for your reference. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

D.E. Shaw

There are some financial firms where technology doesn't take a back seat.

The D. E. Shaw group invites all interested University of Washington students to apply for positions with the firm. We currently have openings in our investment management and technology development businesses, including roles in trading, business development, quantitative analysis, software development, information technology, computer architecture, computational chemistry, accounting, and finance.

Headquartered in New York, the D. E. Shaw group is a global investment and technology development firm with approximately US $35 billion in aggregate investment capital. Since its organization in 1988 by a former Columbia University computer science professor, the firm has earned an international reputation for financial innovation, technological leadership, and an extraordinarily distinguished staff. Current employees include a recent U.S. Women's Chess Champion, multiple Putnam Fellows, winners of more than 20 International Math Olympiad medals, and a lot of people who are just incredibly strong in CS, EE, math, and finance. They didn't necessarily think of themselves as "financial types," and neither did we. We thought of them as people with extraordinary talent.

From the start of their tenure with the firm, our employees enjoy access to some of the world's most advanced computing resources and may be involved in helping to develop numerical techniques and software which automatically trade millions of dollars worth of securities each day in markets around the globe. This makes our technical environment one in which high-quality software and mathematical analysis is imperative and has a very real dollar value. If you're interested in applying your talents to challenging problems of software architecture and engineering in an intellectually stimulating environment, then we'd love to see your resume. Our working environment is intense but surprisingly casual. We provide unusual opportunities for growth. And we compensate extraordinary people extraordinarily well.

Summary of available positions

UW's Center for Engineering Learning & Teaching

The Center for Engineering Learning & Teaching (CELT) has a unique opportunity for an Undergraduate Research Assistant to join an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate and graduate research assistants working on a national research study about the educational experiences of engineering students.

Responsibilities may include team and individual analysis of survey, interview, and design task responses; finding, reading, and summarizing relevant research papers; digital archiving of paper data; and presenting research findings in oral, written, or poster form. (The team has presented work at the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium in the past.)

Ideal applicants will be detail-oriented, organized, effective at communicating in person and in writing, prompt with e-mail communication, and capable of managing their time to meet reasonable deadlines. Applicants should be able to carry out detailed research procedures precisely and be willing to ask questions when instructions are unclear or merit reconsideration.

Background in basic statistics or probability is desired. Basic experience with Excel is required. Experience with Access, SPSS, and PowerPoint is desired. All new hires will be trained on appropriate social science procedures for working with data from human subjects. All qualified undergraduates are encouraged to apply, regardless of major; applicants need not be engineering majors.

This is an hourly position paying at $9.75 per hour. Applicants should be prepared to commit to an average of 6 to 8 hours per week. Undergraduate research assistants have access to a computer lab during regular business hours, but most individual work assignments can be done on your own time and computer, provided that deadlines are met. There are few regularly scheduled commitments, other than a weekly team meeting. New hires will start immediately and are expected to be available (on campus) spring and summer quarter. Employment beyond summer quarter will be offered based on performance through summer.

For more information about CELT and our research on design learning, see our web site at http://depts.washington.edu/celtweb/research/design.html.

Interested students should submit a resume, contact information for references (if available), and a cover letter or e-mail describing why you would be a good fit for this position. Application materials should be sent via e-mail to Ken Yasuhara at celtjobs@u.washington.edu no later than noon on Monday, May 5.
