Disciplines
Fuel, Engine and Propulsion
Aerospace engineers design primarily aircraft, in addition, they test prototypes to make sure that they function according to design.
Landing Gear
Landing gear is the undercarriage of an aircraft and used for either takeoff and landing. The landing gear support the aircraft when it is not flying, allowing it to take of, land and taxi without damage.
Structure / Stress
Stress Engineers play a vital role in the engineering of aircraft. Their main role is to determine the stresses and strains in materials and structures when subjected to forces and heavy loads.
Design Structure
Design Engineers are responsible for the research and design of a company’s new products and systems. They perform various tasks in an engineering department including drafting blueprints, creating test prototypes and overseeing the manufacturing process.
Repairs
Perform routine maintenance and repairs of aircraft interiors and exteriors. Inspect aircraft engine for cracks and leak. Inform component repairs to manager and chief mechanic. Resolve complex and technical problems and troubleshoot unusual repairs.
Avionics/Electrical
Engineers perform many duties related to aircraft communications equipment, such as handling installations and repairs. It is their responsibility to ensure all systems meet FAA/EASA-mandated requirements. They might also help to design, test, and calibrate electronic communication panels.
Project Engineer/Manager
Project engineer’s responsibilities include schedule preparation, pre-planning and resource forecasting for engineering and other technical activities relating to the project. They may also be in charge of performance management of vendors, they ensure projects are completed according to projects plans.
Weights Engineer
Perform engineering duties in designing, constructing and testing aircraft. May conduct basic and applied research to evaluate adaptability of materials and equipment to aircraft design and manufacture.
Flight Controls
Perform primary flight controls to safely control an aircraft during flight and consist of ailerons, elevators (or, in some installation, stabilator) and rudder.
Mechanics/Checks and or Production Planning
Aircraft Mechanics and or Productions inspects and checks, installation, fitting etc.
Flight Test Engineer
A flight Test engineer is responsible for setting the plane's major systems before the flight and monitoring them throughout the flight, and then checking them again after the flight. During the flight, it is usually the flight engineer's responsibility to monitor the plane's trajectory, speed and altitude
Electrical systems installation Designer
Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, or power generation equipment. Electrical engineers also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft.
