Hi! I am currently a senior in high school and am looking to joined more aerospace activities, opportunities, competitions and etc. I have joined every single one I have ever seen (courses from my states space grant consortium, air and space museum hackathon, aviation expo near me) but I really want to try and find more.

I just cannot somehow find any! I am honestly desperate and I have been searching the internet for months trying to find more actives and I just cannot seem to do so

Do any of you guys have recommendations or know any opportunities that are upcoming?

Dear Reddit Community,

I’d love to get your advice on whether accepting an internship offer at this stage of my career would be a wise choice.

My Situation:

•	I’m a non-EU citizen, so I’ll need a visa for Ireland.
•	I’m 23 years old and graduating in December 2024 with a Master’s in Aerospace Systems and Control from Toulouse, France.
•	I have 1 year of experience, including a 6-month internship at Airbus in 2024, and additional internships at startups in France.

Internship Offer:

•	Salary: €21k
•	Duration: 6 months
•	Location: Cork, Ireland
•	Company: C.A.

My Questions:

•	If you were in my position, what would you do?
•	Should I continue my job search (which I started 4 months ago) and consider rejecting this internship offer, or is this a good opportunity to gain more experience in the field?

Title says it all

Hello wondering what other companies are in Washington state, preferably around the greater Seattle area, besides Boeing, Blue Origin, SpaceX, and Stoke Space? Applying for jobs and making sure I’m not missing any potentially good companies.

Hey guys, I’ve been really struggling to find passion and effort through these aero classes. I hate statics, math is okay, and since I transferred university’s, I would be taking another extra year of school because of it. I originally went into engineering because I love creating things, space, and planes, but the more deeper I get into the major I’m really struggling to see the big picture. It’s also been super difficult to find any internships and opportunities in the Midwest. Does it get any better? Is it a sign that engineering isn’t for me because I hate/tolerate almost every class I’ve been taking? If it’s worth it, please let me know how you got through it. If it’s not- How did you know that engineering is not for you?

Hi all, I'm 18 and live in the UK, doing a Pre-Apprenticeship in aircraft maintenance that will finish in March, and have previously done a Lv3 Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering.

Just wondering how hard it is to get into an apprenticeship placement for a foreign airliner? All of the stuff I'm looking at so far needs experience working for a company, which I don't have. It's been a dream of mine to train as an engineer abroad, does anyone know of any airliners that hire expats?

Cheers

I need to make a Powerpoint about my future and I want to become an aerospace engineer. I've loved planes and rockets as a kid and I still do now. If you don't mind me asking what's your day to day like and what are some quirks about it most people don't know unless they've worked in the field.

Hello,

I am a fourth year aerospace engineering major. My school, UCLA, has one undergraduate class on aircraft performance, stability, and control (fixed wing particularly). I really enjoyed learning about aircraft S&C and want to pursue it as my career. I am currently planning on staying at UCLA for a master’s degree. However, there are no more classes on aircraft stability and control after the one I took. All graduate level control courses are just for general mechanical systems (linear control, system ID, etc). I saw that other schools have grad-level courses on aircraft stability and control specifically, with projects involving 6 DOF flight simulators and autopilot development.

I want to take a class like that, but none are offered at my school. Is there any other way I can learn the material at a graduate level on my own? Any online courses or textbooks I can use? I’m not too great at just self studying with a book so a paced course with a project would be ideal.

I’ve thought about going to a different school(like USC across town, which has a grad level S&C course) for a master’s degree, but I don’t think it’s worth going through the hassle of applying and switching schools just for one or two courses. I already have guaranteed admission to UCLA. I almost wish I could just take the USC courses online for no credit, but I doubt that’s possible.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Just got selected in the course Bsc. aeronautics-mechanics. I'm unsure of taking this or taking a drop year to get into a better course.

my current qualifications include well i just finished 12th this year and am kind of stuck. I'm considering architecture or economics but again idk if I should just go with this.

Please help and urgently.

What potential career options do I have if I take this?

What of an MBA?

Who is in the same boat?

I would say that seeking for jobs with relocation to other countries, as an foreigner without papers (VISA's and similar) is more than interesting :)

I have two years experience as Aerospace Engineer in R&D of sophisticated aerial systems. I have good knowledge of airframe design (mainly composite wings) and aerodynamics. I don't have 20 years of experience with CATIA and Fluent :). I have MSc in Aerospace Engineering and currently pursuing PhD in Aerospace Engineering (just finished first year. I applied for positions in U.S. and North Europe, I want to relocate from Serbia (I don't have working VISA's for E.U. VISA, neither U.S.).

Just wanted to share the so far summary of my job seeking journey. I got one offer but I'm revising it currently if I will accept it. I expect more offers in the following weeks.

In total I sent 117 application in 5-6 weeks, via different channels:

• 80% via LinkedIn
• 15% directly, via companies websites
• 5% via Glassdoor, Indeed, etc.

Could you share your experiences when you were looking for similar jobs? I expect to send 300 - 400 applications until the end of year.

As a Aerospace Engineer from India , will I get a job in US ? I heard about some governmental restrictions on Aerospace jobs in US for foreign citizens?

Hello reddit.

Im a student in the middle east in his last year of schooling, and will start applying for universities soon. Please help me organise my choices by ranking my universities overall (preferably in a list). my main focus is education and how the degree from the particular uni is viewed by employers. The universities are as follows-

Technical University of Munich

San Jose State University

Warsaw University of Technology

National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA Lyon)

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid

Inholland University of Applied Sciences

I am Canadian for starters, and I would like to one day work for Boeing or Lockheed Martin or any of the other defence engineering companies. I am in grade 12 and applying for universities and I am confused on which major to pick. I want to work with programming and systems development in defence. Which one would be most beneficial?

More roofs and doors are about to fly off the planes.

Thank you all!

I've always wanted to get into the aerospace sector. I have no experience. I've been in facilities managment for like 8 years now with some big players. I just got a job offer to work as 3P facilities managment at a very large Pratt & Whitney facility. I'm thinking I might accept. This will be the closest I've been to the aerospace industry. Hoping it could open doors some years down the road. Just wanted to share.

Hey all,

Ive been doing some research (by some I mean a lot over the duration of a few years) about the industry and what it entails. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career or where it was going however, now I know what I want to do and what my goals/dreams are. Admittedly, I have no experience in the industry. I’m currently in college getting my bachelors but even that is in business administration with a focus in project management. I have also worked my way up at my current job and I’m working as a project coordinator for a commercial HVAC company in their automation department.

Ive since bit a glass ceiling in my current role and I’ve been looking elsewhere. Aerospace was never in the forefront of my mind but the more research I put into the industry, the more it’s peaked my interest. Not just the benefits, but the ability to be apart of something bigger than myself. I’ve been applying like crazy for different positions at Lockheed Martin. I know that’s it’s a hard industry to get into especially with no experience. I have made sure each job I’ve applied to matches my skills, I’ve catered my resume to each job specifically and have typed out more cover letters than I ever have since September of this year. I don’t expect an offer or even an interview anytime soon because again, I know the recruiting/hiring process takes a VERY long time. What’s discouraging me is that I keep getting to the stage where it says my resume is under review and then a week or two goes by and I get a rejection email. (And I know more than likely it’s due to my lack of knowledge of the industry)

All that to ask, what do these recruiters want to see? I feel like I’ve done everything in my power to go the extra mile to stand out because I know I have no working knowledge of the industry I’m trying to get into. Do I just keep trying and making connections ok LinkedIn and sending out me resume? I am also embarrassed to say that I have about 30+ applications out for different positions. I am also worried that this may be overkill and can be a turn-off to recruiters and/or hiring managers.

Hello, all, I am in a bit of a dilemma right now. I am a senior in high school who wants to become an airliner pilot, but I realized that there are multiple pathways to become an airline pilot.

Even with this, I believe that aerospace engineering is one of my goals as well. Anything in the aviation field is interesting to me. But with this being said, I just want to ask a specific question.

Let's say I graduate with my aerospace engineering degree. I use that to earn flight hours at a part 61 to get the ATP minimums of 1,500 hours. I then become a pilot for the airlines. What about my aerospace degree? I don't want to be a commercial pilot and not use my engineering degree. As many have said, a degree is useless if you don't use it. Not to mention the risk of losing my license after a medical issue, how can I then use my degree if I haven't used it in, let's say 10 years? All that time flying commercial , and when the time comes that I can't fly anymore, would that mean that I can still use that degree? I am also open to being a test pilot. Anything to fly :)

Sorry for sounding so rash and nervous. I know that a lot of people are in my boat (college apps), and I just want to make some good decisions.

I’m interviewing for a software engineering role at SpaceX (Starshield) and just finished the online assessment. If I pass, next up is a technical interview with someone from the team, followed by an onsite interview.

Can anyone share what to expect for the interview with someone on the team and the onsite? What kinds of questions were you asked? Any tips would be super helpful!

So I am a second year student from IIT ISM Dhanbad currently pursuing my bachelor's from department of Mechanical engineering with specialization in mining machinery engineering but I have my interests in Aerospace engineering and want to pursue my career in that field. How can I do that and also where can I get the resources to study about aerospace engineering. I also wanted to know about the job market in this industry. Please help me🙏🙏
