Current engineering openings I am recruiting for.

Jeff Jenks Engineering is a recruiting firm specializing in finding engineers and engineering consultants for high technology companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley.

In the second quarter of 2012, there is hiring activity in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley high tech employment marketplace. While there remains considerable flux in the biotech and medical device employment markets, the general improvement of the economy is encouraging companies to consider adding engineers for new product development. The rapid advance of the stock market in the first quarter as well as IPO's of high tech companies has Silicon Valley companies looking to add engineers and scientists for continued growth. Software Engineers who can provide Internet and mobile applications solutions are in high demand from both recently public companies and Internet applications companies as well as the hundreds of VC funded startup companies. Isolated hiring initiatives in research and development are being announced by leading companies in some high tech industry segments including the capital equipment companies. There is very limited hiring in manufacturing, automation, and test engineering. Demand for consultants especially in software and firmware is good.

Since 1976, Jeff has been associated with the high tech industry in Silicon Valley including roles in sales and marketing with Teradyne, Inc., a leading automatic test equipment (ATE) company as well with Cadre Technologies, a company that pioneered the Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) industry.

More importantly, Jeff has spent over 15 years in the contingency recruiting business focused exclusively on engineering and scientist openings. Using his BSE degree in EE from Princeton plus an MBA from Dartmouth, Jeff has filled over 250 positions from Director of Engineering to Engineering Manager to Senior Engineer in the following engineering disciplines:
Software Development, Software Quality Assurance, Software Test & Build, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Fiber Optics, Algorithm Development, System Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Chemical Engineering (Fluidics), Manufacturing Engineering, Test Engineering, Materials Science and more.

Over the past 15 years, Jeff has been successfully recruiting for companies in the following industries:
Medical Devices, Biotech Instruments, Semiconductor Equipment, Industrial Electronics, MEMS, Consumer Electronics, Pharmaceutical products, Optical Communications, Computers, and Software Products.

Jeff builds long term relationships with companies and becomes their advocate in the employment marketplace. He personally meets face-to-face with the hiring managers and candidates and establishes an engineer-to-engineer relationship that is quite unique in the recruiting business. Using his background in organizational behavior from his MBA program as well as his direct experience working in high tech companies, Jeff understands not only the technical fit to the requirements, but also whether the person's personality and style will mesh with the company's culture.

By carefully screening each potential candidate and determining whether they are qualified, interested, and at the right level as well as personally motivated to join a new company, Jeff is truly recommending a person for the position when a resume is referred for consideration. In the past 5 years, client companies have many times extended an offer to the first or second candidate that Jeff has recommended and over 90% of the offers were accepted.

So if you are in need of hiring engineers, please contact Jeff for further information at JeffJenks@JeffJenksEngineering.com or by phone at 408-996-7033.
