Violin Memory, a Mountain View, Calif.-based flash memory storage devices, says that is hiring two to three engineers a week as it heads toward an initial public offering in mid-2012. The company currently has about 230 employees, and its headcount could expand to 500 by the end of the first quarter of 2012. Some growth could come through acquisitions, said Vice President of Engineering Kevin Rowett…

Violin’s hiring needs include chip designers, hardware designers, software designers, storage engineers, as well as salespeople. About 130 of the company’s employees are engineers. Depending on skill level and experience, engineers can earn salaries ranging from $90,000 to $200,000 a year, Rowett said. The larger lure, he said, is the potential value of stock options upon an IPO, he said. “Equity is the primary reason people come to us,” he said.
