Even after completing their service, aerospace engineering graduates have a wide range of employment opportunities in both the development and operation of complex technical systems:

  • In the private sector, both in the national and international aerospace industry, but also in other branches of industry such as motor vehicle or rail vehicle construction, shipbuilding or general mechanical engineering; companies in the wind energy and medical technology sectors are also possible candidates. Software, system and consulting companies also offer suitable jobs.
    In scientific fields at universities, universities of applied sciences or other research institutions (e.g. the German Aerospace Center (DLR), or the institutes of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (FhG);
    In administration, in federal and state authorities and the European Union, such as the Federal Aviation Office (LBA), Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU), Federal Ministries of Transport and Defense (BMDV and BMVg).
