I am seeking an electrical engineering position with a heavy emphasis
on microcontrollers.  My background is electrical engineering, which
used to be common for those entering embedded engineering.

I'm open to working anywhere in the continental United States but
prefer the Midwest (Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Omaha).

I'd like to hear from those of you who work with microcontrollers in
your jobs.  What industries do you work in?

What are the best sources for good leads?  Monster and Hotjobs tend to
be skewed towards large California companies and miss most of the rest
of the companies that hire embedded engineers.  I know of several
sources of leads, but I don't consider any of them to be a silver
bullet.  The fact that embedded engineering is dispersed over many
industries makes it challenging to decide which leads to pursue first.
 On the other hand, the diversity makes embedded engineering more
resistant to downturns than other parts of engineering.

Which particular industries that employ embedded engineers are doing
the most hiring?  Are there any organizations dedicated to embedded
engineering?  As embedded engineers, where do you usually meet in
person given that you work in so many different industries?

I don't have formal experience in embedded engineering, but I do have
informal experience.  I have designed and built an SWR/ wattmeter that
uses a PIC16F72 microcontroller to control the output indicator LEDs.
I also studied control systems theory in graduate school.

My report on the SWR/wattmeter is at:
