| | Progam Manager - RF Cafe Forums |
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Thanks

www.itselectronics.com www.uniquesys.com/ www.quaketech.com
my suggestion ? get out of canada.
with the fall of nortel, high tech in canada is dead for at least next 5-10 years. especially in RF, there are really no companies outside of a few in ottawa, skyworks mainly, doing RFIC or active components. the government does but you need a PHD.

guest Post subject: Try....Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 2:34 pm Only other 2 I know are Nortel and Novatel.
I assume you tried them both.
Otherwise try Sierra Wireless in BC. They are hiring RF people.

Sierra is very picky.
Very picky.
So good luck, also there are companies in Montreal, but most are not hiring.
It will be tough.

thanks for the suggestions guys
i'm still not quite sure exactly what type of job i'm after. it would be nice to get some background in the communications industry, i imagine. my master's thesis consisted of L-band LNA design, but i'm very open to other areas. i'm a total newbie out in the real world who wants to get her foot in the door.

guest Post subject: don't know...Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 4:17 pm i don't think the leaedership has anything to do with job prospects, i mean martin did nothing, chritien did even less and further, harper is not mulroney : ie. he won't bring a lot of jobs or good economic prospects.
if you have done IC work, it will be next to impossible to find a job. it is so hard to find jobs in canada in rf and rfic design right now, there is a glut of people, more people coming into to canada all the time, with very, very few companies and IF they are hiring, they are hiring senior people. schools are full of phd students and so on.
if you want to do system level work or ic design work i can suggest more companies.
