What Are The Career Opportunities For An Aeronautical Engineering Graduate?

Aeronautical engineers design, develop, test, and help manufacture commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles. Aeronautical engineers also develop and design extraordinary technologies similar to supersonic jets, helicopters, satellites, rockets, and space shuttles.

Aeronautical Engineers are trained to design aircraft and spacecraft. Their main job includes designing aircraft and propulsion systems and studying the aerodynamic performance of aircraft and construction materials. After completion of the Aeronautical Engineering course, various job openings are available in the manufacturing of Aircraft, Aircraft Propulsion, Aircraft Systems.

If aircraft spaceships and airplanes fascinate you are compelled to know them since behind it. However, a career in aeronautical engineering might be of your interest. Here are the things you need to know about what are the career openings one can expect as an aeronautical engineer. Aeronautical engineering is one of the most popular career choices among students currently. 

The aviation industry in India has surfaced as one of the fastest-growing industries in the country during the last 3 years. India has become the 3rd largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to overtake the United Kingdom to become the 3rd largest air passenger market by 2024. 

A lot of companies start manufacturing Aircraft and Aircraft spares in India. There are a lot of openings for Aeronautical Engineers in the manufacturing and Airlines industry. With middle-class people taking to the skies against the background of economic airfares, the Indian aviation market has grown at an average rate of 15% over the last decade. 

After completion of the course of Aeronautical Engineering candidate can work in the below listed industry-

Airlines- 

Airlines give transport service to all the passengers across India and throughout the world at various destinations. Multiple opportunities are there for students after Completion of the Aeronautical Engineering course in India or abroad. 

Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO’s)-

Maintenance Repair overhaul performs all the maintenance from minor to major for all the flying aircraft, carrying out maintenance on the airframe, jet engine, electrical, piston engines, Radio, Instruments, and various other systems of aircraft. Like airlines, a lot of job openings are there for students after Completion of the Aeronautical Engineering course. 

Civil Aviation Department and Defense-

Civil Aviation Department, Director General of Civil Aviation, in defense Air force also hires Aeronautical Engineers. 

Aviation Technical Publication Companies-

Aviation Technical publication companies maintain various paperwork of airlines related to maintenance and flying. To maintain this paperwork, they hire the Aeronautical Engineers. 

Research Organizations- ISRO, DRDO, NASA, also hire Aeronautical Engineers. 

Aeronautical Engineering Colleges/Institutes/ Universities-

Aeronautical Engineering Colleges /Institutes/Universities also hire aeronautical Engineers as faculty for practical and theoretical  training. 

Aircraft Manufacturing Companies-

Aircraft manufacturing companies such as Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Cessna Aircraft, and Dassault falcon deal in the manufacturing of aircraft and aircraft systems and also provide job opportunities to Aeronautical Engineers. 

Aircraft Spares Manufacturing Companies-

Aircraft Spares manufacturing companies work in the manufacturing of various aircraft parts, many companies such as General Electric, Honeywell, Pratt Whitney, and Rolls-Royce work in the manufacturing of aero engines and also hire Aeronautical Engineers. 

Aeronautical Engineer Work Profile-

Aeronautical engineers usually work in multidisciplinary engineering teams where responsibilities contain-

•  Assessing Design Requirements
