Any Aerospace Engineers on the board??

[quote=jimmyle]At JPL you don’t do much with a BS. You need a Master or PhD degree. In addition, these guys are very selective and a little bit arrogant, they probably don’t consider candidates from Cal State Colleges. Most people who work there are from Cal Tech, MIT, Berkeley, and Stanford.

[quote=ucodegen]Another possibility is JPL located just north of Pasadena. It might be hard to get into though.[/quote][/quote]

In my experience I would say these Cal Tech ‘people’ can be VERY arrogant. In fact, the North Pasadena area I think in general is loaded with snobs.

Sorry, got off the subject. The very large aerospace company I work for has been laying off in great numbers – right in RB. In fact, a big RIF will be occurring this week.

I am an aerospace engineer, on the Communications Engineering side.

I recommend staying looking at Space Daily (http://www.spacedaily.com/) for latest information and industry trends. They have an automated daily email feed that you can sign up for. Lockheed in San Jose is a major player in satellites, as is Northrop Grumman in Manhattan Beach. Raytheon and Lockheed do a lot of Missile Defense. General Dynamics in Phoenix and Viasat in Carlsbad also comes to mind.

Also concur with the industry being cyclic, and it is now trending downward. The DoD is trending away from “esoteric” solutions, and moving more toward providing information to the troops at the ground level. As a result, there seems to be a pinch at the Satellite and Missile Defense sectors.
