27 Aerospace Careers found.
Help engineers design and develop computers, communications equipment, medical monitoring devices, navigational equipment, and other electrical and electronic equipment. They often work in product evaluation and testing, using measuring and diagnostic devices to adjust, test, and repair equipment.
Help industrial engineers implement designs to effectively use personnel, materials, and machines in factories, repair shops, and offices. They prepare machinery and equipment layouts, plan workflows, conduct statistical production studies, and analyze production costs.
General maintenance and repair workers fix and maintain machines, mechanical equipment, and buildings. They work on plumbing, electrical, and air-conditioning and heating systems.
Help mechanical engineers design, develop, test, and manufacture mechanical devices, including tools, engines, and machines. They may make sketches and rough layouts, record and analyze data, make calculations and estimates, and report their findings.
Assemble, fit, fasten, and install parts of airplanes, space vehicles, or missiles, such as tails, wings, stabilizers, landing gear, rigging and control equipment, or heating and ventilating systems.
Develop programs to control machining or processing of metal or plastic parts by automatic machine tools, equipment, or systems.
Assemble or modify electromechanical equipment or devices, such as servomechanisms, gyros, dynamometers, magnetic drums, tape drives, brakes, control linkage, actuators, and appliances.
Oversee the daily operations of manufacturing and related plants. They coordinate, plan, and direct the activities used to create a wide range of goods, such as cars, computer equipment, or paper products.
Set up and operate a variety of computer-controlled and mechanically-controlled machine tools to produce precision metal parts, instruments, and tools
Set up, test, and adjust manufacturing machinery or equipment, using any combination of electrical, electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or computer technologies.
Set up and operate machines that cut, shape, and form metal and plastic materials or pieces.
Weld or join metal parts. They also fill holes, indentions, or seams of metal products, using hand-held metal joining equipment.
Plan, initiate, and manage information technology (IT) projects. Lead and guide the work of technical staff. Serve as liaison between business and technical aspects of projects. Plan project stages and assess business implications for each stage
Research, design, develop, and test computer systems and components such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, networks, and routers.
Design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. In addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design.
Plan, coordinate, and direct activities in architectural and engineering companies.
Draw wiring diagrams, circuit board assembly diagrams, schematics, and layout drawings used for manufacture, installation, and repair of electronic equipment.
Design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, or power generation equipment. Also, design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft.
Design and develop electronic equipment, such as broadcast and communications systems, from portable music players to global positioning systems (GPS). Many also work in areas closely related to computer hardware.
Design, develop, or evaluate energy-related projects or programs to reduce energy costs or improve energy efficiency during the designing, building, or remodeling stages of construction.
