It's probably easier to just befriend some engineers that are already working there.

Absolutely it is, but that's not always feasible.

I've had some people cold call me via Linked In because they were looking for a job. Mostly just new college grads. It does give them a little boost for taking a initiative but beyond that they will need to go through the usual resume review, phone screen and in office interview.
