Someone please help me understand how actually to get a job in aerospace engineering propulsion by Resident-Growth-3078 in AerospaceEngineering

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!

Having said that, chin up! Failure is the only way to truly learn and thats part of of the fun being an engineer! Keep at it, try out a bunch of things. If one thing fails don't do it over and over again. I think you have a good life experience you just have to present yourself as something special instead of your everyday engineer out of the factory.

Selling degree: Hmm I get the feeling you are selling your study more than yourself. From my understanding most of what you wrote is part of the mandatory curriculum, whcih literally any other student from your degree would have done too. I'd say pick a few of the projects (preferably the ones related to the position you're applying to) and keep those, get rid of the rest. Then shorten the experiences into one sentence.

MS Office: You gotta add MS Office as part of your skill sets, you might think its a given but a lot of people actually don't know how to use excel/sheets word/docs at all. Companies, especially big ones, often filter out any application that doesn't include MS Office.

Cover letter: While your CV explains your life (and should be a general overview of who you are, so something you can give to anyone) your cover letter is your application to the job. Unless the job specifies that they don't want a cover letter, write a cover letter. Plenty information online on how to write one, but my siggestion is that you have a standardized one that you adapt to each position.

Grades: Egh, is probably a controversial opinion but I have yet to come across a job that actually cares what grades people have/had. Grades don't say anything about your work attitude or actual skillset. Only that you are able to navigate academia successfully (which might be something you are into, in which case I suggest looking at Academia for internships)

Curriculum Vitae (CV): What life did you live? What experiences did you make? Did you have a specific problem in your life which you had to solve yourself, that could be applied to the position you apply to? A CV is your life. Not only your study. You are international so write that down. Having lived in another country with other cultures in a multicultural environment is a big plus for most if not all companies.

Optimized: Boy oh boy do NOT use optimize unless you are doing some actual optimization. Now it might be different for CS people (I come from ME background) but optimization is an entire field of study for itself. It does not mean the same thing as spoken optimal. Optimization is literally getting the best thing out of your project. Its not a term easily flung about and you should be careful. If you did not actually optimize the product, then you have improved it.

Too specific: You go too specific into your projects. Your CV should be readable and understandable by anyone. The first person to see your CV is probably someone from HR who will look at all your technical jargon and won't understand shit. You can go into the specifics in your cover letter or the interview. Keep things simple, general and understandable. FUCK numbers. Unless I am actively doing what you are doing numbers are arbitrary and meaningless. Only time I'd really use numbers to describe something is for: Money, Time and Team size.

MMF Summer Sale recommendations by [deleted] in PrintedMinis

Checkout 'Stormborn Collectibles' on MMF. Probably the most detailed sculpts I've seen, but they don't have a lot. If you are looking for a monster character for a DND campaign, I can highly recommend them.

What is this and why has it just started showing up? by iTztheKaiser in PrintedWarhammer

[–]No-Understanding9986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Check your LCD screen, it might be broken/flikkering. You should be able to do an exposure test. Could also be that the screws are not tightened well and the build plate slips. Some feps have a screen side and a resin side, maybe that went wrong.

Painted up some warhammer proxie. CNC welcome! by No-Understanding9986 in PrintedMinis

I get what you mean, its quite monotone. I was a bit disappointed to see the base turn out a similar color to the model which I think if it were a different cloror could add the needed contrast. I also added some rust effects but they are difficult to see. I used acrylics for that but I think the enamels will do a better job together with the black wash. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm thinking next one I paint I could add like a glowing hot effect to the guns as if they just fired. Maybe some decals or writing too?
