Recruiter's Column
Why does Broadcom choose to recruit engineering
and
computer
science graduates
from UCLA?
UCLA has one of the top engineering schools in the country and the graduates
are very talented at all levels (BS, MS, and PhD). The proximity to Broadcom
is also a big plus for our internship and full-time programs since there are
fewer relocation issues. The founders of Broadcom are both UCLA graduates - undergrad
through doctorate - so they obviously have a bias toward the school.
What do you see as the strengths of UCLA’s graduates in engineering and computer science?
UCLA engineering school graduates are very bright and are very well trained in
the fundamentals. The graduate program in integrated circuit design is as good
as any in the country.
How do employees who are UCLA alumni compare
to your other employees?
Some of the very best engineers at Broadcom are UCLA alumni. UCLA ranks number
one in terms of number of university alumni employed by Broadcom.
Several UCLA engineering graduates are in leadership positions at Broadcom - what qualities do they share that make them suited for such roles?
First and foremost, they are brilliant engineers. However, they also have demonstrated
very strong leadership skills which have allowed them to quickly move up the
ranks into management positions. We have approximately 10-12 UCLA engineering
alumni in leadership roles at Broadcom Corporation.
How many graduates from UCLA’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science currently work at Broadcom?
We have approximately 153 UCLA engineering graduates working at Broadcom.
What types of positions have these graduates been hired to fill?
All sorts of positions, both full-time and intern, including analog and digital
integrated circuit design, RF design, digital signal processing, communications
systems analysis and design, software engineers, CMOS device and process engineering
and test engineers. We currently have over 75 full-time positions open for recent
or upcoming graduates at all
levels (BS, MS, PhD), as well as numerous internship opportunities.
What other aspects of Broadcom’s relationship with the University are important to the company?
Broadcom maintains a close research relationship with the university and funds
several research projects with faculty and graduate students in the Electrical
Engineering Department through the UC MICRO program. Broadcom also maintains
an active internship program to employ students prior to their graduation to
give them some hands-on training and industry experience. We are actively recruiting
for over 50 intern opportunities, with more to come. The University Relations
Program is also actively involved with several student associations and organizations
on-campus that focus on engineering, technology and diversity. Broadcom is also
a Corporate Partner with the UCLA Career Services Center, and a member of the
Electrical Engineering Industrial Affiliates Program. |
