You get what you pay for, on or off-shore...
You can get cheap engineers (either shore :-) to do within a year or two
what the true engineer behind a product (there is always one) can do
himself within a week or so using the automation tools of the day.
If managers & recruiters could possibly live with that...

Putting software in one basket with layout and consumer product design
sounds... well, like the mess we have today on the software arena.
All that C smearing called programming (it will take some time, may be
a very long time, before people realize C has done to programming what
Roman numbers did to maths...).
While I am not GHz range experienced, I have done quite a bit of stuff
(whatever you see on my website is my design). I must say that hardware
design takes within 10% of my time dedicated to a project, the rest
goes on software (and I use no C, thus being 10x + as efficient...).
