Best Employers for FIRST Alumni

[ratdude747]

I'm about to graduate with an EET degree from Purdue and need some career advice.

What I'd like to know is what employers are generally good for FIRST Alumni; I'd prefer a job where I'd be able to get the time off to allow me to volunteer at events and more importantly, would see my involvement in FIRST as a positive and not a negative.

I'd prefer to stay in Indiana but given how the current prospects I've pursued (some went to interviews but no further) have failed, I'm willing to move out of state if that's what it takes to get a good job.

PS- My specialty within EET is hardware design (digital and analog) and embedded software (especially C and labiview), although I am also good with PLCs, controls, and automation too. I'd highly prefer to stay within those disciplines.
