aerospace engineer
Aerospace engineers develop, test and oversee the manufacture of flight vehicles such as aircrafts, missiles, and spacecrafts. The field of engineering they are active in, can be divided into two branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering.
Also called: aerospace engineers, avionics engineer, aerostructures engineer, missile design specialist, aeronautical engineer, aerospace engineering adviser, spacecraft engineer, aerospace test engineer
