For Hardware... PMC Sierra (are they still alive?)... Eleven Engineering (favors UofA?)... Nuvation (Waterloo office, also one in San Jose)... there's one in Canmore that was bought by Garmin, I forgot their name... then a few tiny oil and gas companies that I can't tell you off the top of my head.
If you do apply to California, yes it is competitive, but it is possible. Make sure you really understand your fundamentals well. A typical question for someone of your level may be, why do you typically size PMOS to be 2-3x's the gate width than the NMOS? In board level design, why do you have separate power and grounds? Etc. Explain why you are concerned with odd order harmonics and not even... etc. Not necessary numbers questions, but you should know your fundamentals well.
Good luck
