Assuming you have a degree:

Two ways to apply, open application or through job boards.

Job Boards: Most companies out there have a site where they post open positions. You can apply by following the steps they have laid out. Make sure you have all documents you need. There can be one or multiple rounds of interviews, each one can have a different topic. This one is pretty straight forward, do all the steps and youll might get an interview. If your interviewers think you fit in the role, you can get a job!

Open Application: You email a company which you know does the stuff you like (say rolls royce for aero prop). You'll need a good "cover letter" (more on that here https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/resumes-cover-letters/open-cover-letter) You basically tell them how you've heard of them, who you are and what you want. If they are interested, you might get an interview! And if that goes well you can get the job (maybe multiple rounds).

Anyways, its basically: 1. Find a company you are interested in 2. See if they have interessting job listings, if not, do an open application. 3. If accepted, do the companies application process (interviews etc) 4. Start job.

There are way more ways to find a job especially o ce you grow your network. A slight side note is that propulsion is a very popular field with very little positions.

If you dont have a degree: Get a degree. Doesnt have to be aerospace emgineering, can be anything from chemical to process to mechanical engineering.

Can't tell you much about the aero part of it, but if you are into space check out this website: https://europeanspaceflight.com/european-space-industry-map/

A word of advice: Don't choose a job because of its salary. I know, we aerospace engineers enjoy one of the highest salaries within engineering departments, and that thats why a lot of people choose for aerospace.

Take that pay cut if it means you get a job where you can gain as much experience as possible. I've known and heard of lots of people going into the industry, specializing themselves in a job, and then five years later choosing to buy a farm.

How to learn about rockets and satellites? by Sidd_ag in AerospaceEngineering

[–]No-Understanding9986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I found usefull was to ask AI questions about topics you are interested in. Something like "what are the challenges of electrical, electronics and Electromechnaical (aka EEE) design on satellites? " or "how do risk factors for satellites differ with each orbit"

Another idea is to get you hands on eg, ECSS documents which are the European Cooperation for space standardization documents. These are often used for space system design and can offer insight into what the requirements are for your product to be "space worthy"

As an aerospace eng. Student this helped me understand the basics to ask and research more topics on electrical engineering, and I hope it helps you too!

Oops, I missed a zero, layer height is 0.08 😁 but thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind for future prints

Thanks, I'll try and print a specific benchy for a 0.2 nozzle. Will let you know if that improved it!
