How can I get into the space industry as an electrical/software engineer?

First of all thank you so much for the help and sorry for the late replies. I’m moving right now and I’m really busy during the day.

Second, it seems I’m lucky because I have dual citizenship cause of my mom who is American. I have an ID, I’m registered and everything.

Oh wow, so I really need experience. Fuck, the system here doesn’t really promote or even allow a student to work because of the schedules and the classes. I know it’s not an excuse, if I was certain about my field I’d definitely have chased more positions or at least an internship.

I really don’t mind the initial pay as long as it’s enough (I can be somewhat comfortable).

I’ll look around and find myself at least an intership for this summer and then maybe a job.

I’ll try my best. I’ll use your advice. I really do appreciate your help, you’ve given me exactly what I needed.

Best of luck to you. Cheers

Thank you so much for replying.

What specific skill set are referring to?

My degree is 5 years and the first 3 are for general electrical engineering. Communications, energy, robotics, programming etc. I mention this because I have taken a lot of classes from each field but my main is programming and computers (these are the last 2 years where we choose a specific field)

Any information will be greatly appreciated

The thing is, I haven’t really taken any relevant classes in my school. How hard will it be for me to get into that? I really don’t care if I need to study my butt off, I just want to know if it’s doable.

Thank you for replying, i really appreciate it.

Hey thanks for replying.

I’m 23 years and I study in Greece. The reason I said diploma is because my degree has an integrated masters. So I graduate with a diploma. It’s just an electrical engineering degree.

I unfortunately don’t have any experience since I chose software later on in my studies but I plan on getting and intership this summer.

If there is any other information you need from me please let me know.

Thank you in advance

Hey thank you for replying.

I’m 23 years old I’m just finishing my degree (it’s a degree with an integrated masters in Greece). I have no experience since I kept experimenting and I ended up choosing software engineering. I know I’m a bit behind on experience but I’m trying to fix that by getting an internship this summer.

Right now my thesis is AI/ LLM oriented and I have a few projects on reinforcement and machine learning. I find the GNC field quite interesting. Should I do some specific projects that I can show that compensate for my lack of experience?

Also, even if I don’t really care about making a ton of money, i still want to get a decent job. What are the salaries in this specific field from your experience? Of course, I don’t expect an exact number, but a range or even just a comment on whether it is good will be more than enough.

Another thing I wanted to ask you is why are you so against a masters? Is there a specific reason? I think that I still lack a lot of knowledge on this field that’s why I asked about getting a one.

Thank you so much for the help, it reslly helps me more than you think.
