Do any POAers know of any aerospace engineering jobs in the Chicago area? I would prefer a design/research position with possible fabrication support duties.
SoCal, Wichita, and Huntsville are hotbeds of Aerospace jobs, as is Dallas and parts of Florida. Chicago - much less so. As Scott notes, it's much more telecom, computers, and business than it is aerospace engineering.
You should check out some the of BE Aerospace Careers I know they have a ton of positions nationwide so there's a good chance there's a position in/around Chi-town.
