Research in Motion is looking to hire 60 people with technical backgrounds at its U.S. headquarters in Irving.
Research in Motion, the maker of BlackBerry smartphones, has gotten plenty of bad publicity in the past couple of years. Often at the hands of this humble reporter.
So it’s time to give RIM some props.
The Canadian company, seeking to fill roughly 60 openings at its U.S. headquarters in Irving, is pursuing a number of Dallas-Fort Worth denizens with wireless software expertise who recently were let go at Texas Instruments.
“We are always looking to hire the best people to fill key roles," said Bill Timm, Irving-based director, software product delivery at RIM.
"The Texas development community has a wealth of very talented and experienced engineers who can help us continue to innovate and build our new mobile computing platform, BlackBerry 10," Timm said. "Texas is a great place to do business. I’m really excited to be able to offer new employment in the Dallas region and to bring fresh ideas and innovation to BlackBerry’s research and development team.â€
Following a full-court press by its recruiters, RIM will be holding an all-day job fair Tuesday at the Hyatt Regency North Dallas in Richardson. A couple hundred people are likely to turn out, a company spokesman said.
These aren’t just any technology gigs, mind you. RIM needs application software developers, embedded software engineers, interoperability test specialists, people like that.
But if you believe you have suitable skills, stop on out and talk to somebody about a possible career with RIM, the company spokesman says.
