Oct. 10, 1997. Below is an early list of typical CS job openings in HP from a few HP divisions in California and Colorado. Since HP is currently in the process of finalizing our hiring plans for this coming recruiting season, I do not have a more complete list to provide to you. However, this should give you and your top students a feel for HP's interest in CS majors. HP will be coming to campus on December 2nd and 3rd to interview CS/EE/ECE candidates for full-time and summer job openings in our operations across the United States. The greatest number of our job openings will be in the western U.S. in California, Colorado, Idaho, and Oregon ... and not the rainy Washington area! I appreciate your assistance in helping HP identify well-qualified CS undergraduate/graduate students for our full-time and summer internship opportunities. HP's Elizabeth Geary (Duke BSEE'85) will be coordinating HP's selection process for our closed interview schedules on the December 2nd and 3rd. Elizabeth and her team will be reviewing/selecting candidates through Duke's on-line web process this Fall. ----------------------------------------------------------- Field/Degree: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Physics Function: Summer Intern, Systems Engineering, Software and Measurement Systems Location: Santa Rosa, CA # of Openings: 3 Key Skills: Proficient in C or C++, proficient in UNIX or NT environments.
