I'm a Sr. Hardware Design Engineer for the "really big" company out in Hillsboro. Our group does board products with server grade networking interfaces. Which is to say, we do 1 and 10 Gigabit optical and copper ethernet ports in various flavors. Stuff you can buy for your server, propriatary form factors for most all of the big OEM's.

When you stream your movies, shop at most big on line retailers, or use pretty much any of the big social networking sites....chances are really good you're using hardware that our group or even yours truly designed.....
