The National Society of Professional Engineers has a career site that might help.

Referrals from people you know, or responding to messages from recruiters on LinkedIn / other sites. I almost never hear back from cold applying to a job

I am actively doing that, but even those things does not help. Recruiters who text me on LinkedIn just promoting something, but really hiring. Unfortunately, I don't know a lot of people who does Software Engineering, so it is hard to find a good referral

Probably helps if you pay a bit more attention to detail: what is, not "why is".
