RE: What are some good job search sites for engineering positions?
There have been multiple threads over the last few years about finding jobs so I'm sure you can find some of them with their various tips and tricks etc.
However, that said, I actually got my current job from having my resume posted online. An agency (Aerotek) found my resume with certain keywords on it and got me placed on a temp to perm position.
Now I can't recall exactly which site it was, either Career Builder or Monster best I can recall. Ironically enough I had put myself on thingamajob, which is tied in with Aerotek but they didn't find me on there as I recall.
The US govt and some of it's big departments have their own sites too.

That being said, I got my current job from networking, so do that.

Don't forget LinkedIN. The nice thing about LinkedIN is that is a hybrid between a typical job website and social networking. Recruiters are definitely using it actively to find people.
Also, don't miss the jobs link at the top right corner on this website!

All the old standards:
monster
careerbuilder
hotjobs
...and about 250 others of various names. Just a thought: "research skills".

I looked through it once, and easily found jobs I was qualified for, and near where I live (though I wasn't actually looking at the time).

A few other things to add.
If you use an RSS reader (such as Google reader) many of the mentioned websites allow you to add a search result as a feed. This makes going through results from numerous places much, much easier and ensures you don't miss many opportunities.
I'll second indeed as probably the best general search tool, and it has a search tool which is pretty good (RSS capable).
If you are looking within a region, its also worth checking craigslist (RSS capable), I see lots of posts for jobs in metro areas up on craigslist before they filter through to the other sites.
Also, I would suggest using the website to locate the job, and if possible, applying directly through the company instead of the web service. HR departments get large dumps from external websites which are harder for them to utilize than internal results. For smaller companies, direct email is definitely preferred; the email gives you a chance to introduce yourself.
