I emailed castAR last month asking about positions in hardware/embedded dev for new grads, but I didn't hear anything back. I tried both careers@ and jobs@ email addresses.

Same here! But I start working in mid-February. Wanna spend the winter hacking away? Maybe we'll get something useful out of it, perhaps even a semester at YC :P

Aren't bigger companies also looking for people who have a solid foundation in algorithms/data structures? Since most of my work has been in hardware, I haven't had a chance to apply these concepts extensively.

Which bigger companies would you recommend given my past experience?

I also feel that all I need is a chance and then I will learn and adapt as is expected by the job and the company. Is this something most other people also feel?

Advice for soon-to-be new grad

How does a new grad with a vast portfolio in hardware design and low-level programming projects get accepted for a software developer role at a startup? It's hard to convince a startup when what they value most are past projects, especially those related to higher level software dev, no?

Ask HN: What do people think about the concept of 'crowd-creating?'

Noting the growing activity in areas of crowdsourcing/crowdfunding, I have been toying with the idea of 'crowd-creating.'

Most of my experience has been in hardware design and low level programming, however I am trying to expand my horizons by learning more about artificial intelligence and machine learning. So I would like to work for someone working in those fields. However, I am open to any and all options because I really want to get a feel for what the technology culture on the West Coast is like.
