Aerospace Engineer Jobs

Aerospace engineers design, develop and test aircraft, spacecraft and missiles and supervise the manufacture of these products.

Those who work with aircraft are called aeronautical engineers and those working specifically with spacecraft are astronautical engineers. Aerospace engineers develop new technologies for use in aviation, defence systems and space exploration, often specialising in areas such as structural design, guidance, navigation and control, instrumentation and communication or production methods.

They also may specialise in a particular type of aerospace product such as commercial aircraft, military fighter jets, helicopters, spacecraft or missiles and rockets and may become experts in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, celestial mechanics, propulsion, acoustics or guidance and control systems.
