What are some major companies that work with aerospace engineering?
I am currently interested in aerospace engineering. However, I don't know many aerospace engineering companies. Does this mean it will be difficult to find a job in this path. #engineering #career-path #aerospace #companies

Alexander’s Answer
There are a lot of smaller aerospace companies out there. Here is a list of a few to get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aerospace_companies_of_the_United_States. Check Glassdoor and LinkedIn jobs for more options near you. There are a lot of options in California, so it shouldn't be too challenging to find opportunities near you. It can be a challenge to find a job anywhere, but if you work hard and do well in school, it shouldn't be any more difficult than any other industry.

A few companies off the top of my head are:
Boeing
Airbus
NASA
SpaceX
Lockheed Martin
Google (Only recently)
The positions are competitive, however you should have enough electronics/ software skills to pick up other positions if you are unable to get a job at an aerospace company.
Thanks for the advice.
Forrest
I am in the same boat as Forrest, first thanks for the places. A follow up question is what specifically does Google do within the aerospace field?
Daniel
All they have publicly announced is Google Loon. Check out: http://www.google.com/loon/
Michael Kehoe
Thank you for all your help.
Daniel
Do you know if any of these companies operate in the Silicon Valley?
Forrest
NASA and Lockheed Martin have a presence in Silicon Valley (Mountain View). I'm not sure if there are any other companies down there
Michael Kehoe
Thanks for the information.
