Guys, If I want to get a good job for engineering right after College do I need to go to a big known school?

Currently in 12th and I'm looking through schools but the big programs are incredibly competitive and I don't know if I'm cut out compared to others applying. I'd like to apply to state schools but I've heard bigger schools give you a better chance of getting a job right after.
