Mechanical Engineers seem to be an after thought for companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. I know Apple and Tesla are good spots for Mech Eβs but what are some other good companies?
Depends what type of mechanical Eng you practice. Facebook, Ms, Amazon, Google hire mechEs in their hardware, server, and datacenter groups.
www.amazonrobotics.com - they have one of the best technical VPs in the company.
Really depends on your speciality?? Mechanical engineering is SOOO broad. Your question is equivalent to asking "top hospitals for doctors."
What is your specialization in Mech. Fluid/ controls/ thermal/ structures etc depending on that you have a lot of options

Yes that's the difference between software companies and physical tech companies. Look for companies that rely on developing physical products (Qualcomm, Intel, Nvidia, etc.) and you'll find your answer. Alexa and Google Home should have spots open but that's hearsay.
