Aerospace Jobs

While space exploration has become nearly moribund and the commercial aviation manufacturing sector has come to be dominated by two firms worldwide, new directions are being taken in the development of such military aircraft as pilot-less drones. Also, there may soon be a burst of activity in the manufacturing of small commercial aircraft. So demand for engineers in this sector has held pretty steady over the past few years; indications are this trend will continue.

Firms in the aviation and aerospace industries actively search out, through Dataworkforce, engineers and technicians for positions like these:

• Embedded Applications Software Engineer. Develops and tests mission critical applications for integrated cockpit systems and takes responsibility for software development life cycles.

• Mechanical Systems Engineer. Leads aircraft mechanical and systems design and fabrication, assembly and installation on one project, which may expand to several simultaneous aircraft projects.

• Satellite Asset Tracking Project Manager. Manages the installation of satellite asset tracking systems, reviewing technical orders, wiring diagrams, training, and detailed technical data packages.

• Network Communications Field Applications Engineer. Manages field applications engineering support for an aircraft manufacturing firm and handles on site engineering analysis of customer integration problems.

• Reliability Engineer - Aerospace Systems. Performs fault tree analysis, Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) analysis, reliability program plans, reliability predictions, and reliability improvement implementation and testing.

• Avionics Systems Engineer - Computing Platforms. Responsible for designing the system architecture containing hardware and software elements in a VME form factor chassis, defining requirements for hardware and embedded software.
