Recruit Engineering proved to be a game-changer for our semiconductor division. We were struggling to find a chief process engineer and a senior wide bandgap device designer for months before engaging their services. Within weeks, they presented us with a shortlist of highly qualified candidates, resulting in successful hires for both positions. Their team’s technical background in advanced semiconductor materials and fabrication processes was evident in the quality of candidates they sourced. The new hires have already made significant contributions to our SiC power device development project. We’re extremely satisfied with Recruit Engineering’s performance and will definitely be using them for future hiring needs.

Dr. Heidi Ruiz, Chief Technology Officer

Wolfspeed, Inc.

When we needed to rapidly scale our sensor development team for a major automotive project, Recruit Engineering delivered beyond our expectations. They helped us hire a lead MEMS engineer, two signal processing specialists, and three sensor fusion algorithm developers in record time. Their ability to source candidates with niche skills in multi-modal sensing and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) was remarkable. The recruiters at Recruit Engineering showed a deep understanding of our technical requirements and company values, ensuring a great cultural fit for all hires. Their efficient process and constant communication made the entire hiring experience smooth and productive.

Emily Bray, Head of Talent Acquisition

Sensata Technologies

As we expanded our focus on high-speed interconnect solutions, finding engineers with expertise in both signal integrity and high-frequency design was crucial. Recruit Engineering came through for us, placing a lead signal integrity engineer, two high-speed PCB designers, and a senior electromagnetic simulation specialist. Their comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges in developing reliable high-bandwidth data transmission systems was evident in the caliber of candidates they presented. The recruiters took the time to understand not just our technical needs, but also our company’s mission to push the boundaries of data transmission speeds. Thanks to Recruit Engineering, we’ve significantly accelerated our 400G Ethernet technology program and are well-positioned for future growth in this critical sector of the electronics industry.

Dr. Scarlet Spencer, Director of R&D

Belden Inc.

As a growing player in the smart metering sector, finding specialized talent in IoT systems engineering was our biggest challenge until we partnered with Recruit Engineering. They successfully placed a senior embedded systems engineer and two wireless communications specialists, all of whom have become integral to our smart grid solutions team. Their understanding of our niche requirements, particularly in low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies and secure IoT protocols, was impressive. Recruit Engineering’s support throughout the hiring process, from initial screening to offer negotiation, was invaluable. We’re already planning to use their services for our upcoming expansion into advanced data analytics for utility management.
