Dell Inc. plans to hire more engineers in Central Texas than it has at any time since the tech boom.

Chairman Michael Dell, in Slovakia to announce an expansion of 600 jobs at the company's sales and support center there, said Monday that the computer maker also will add 500 engineers in the Austin area, according to wire reports.

Dell has struggled in recent months to keep pace with rivals. Its traditional industry-leading growth rates have slowed, and its stock price has slumped. It is now the subject of several inquiries into accounting practices. The stock rose 11 cents Monday to close at $21.46.

Dell recently has begun adding more sales and support staffers companywide in an effort to regain momentum in sales and service. The engineering additions announced Monday would be the company's biggest local expansion of technical talent since it laid off 5,700 workers in 2001. Dell remains the largest tech employer in Central Texas.
