"I'm not sure if you are asking how to transition into working in aerospace?" Thanks for responding. Yes that's my question. I assume that domain knowledge in embedded systems, as well as aerospace science are minimum requirements?
For a niche field that programmers rarely ever hear much about, there's quite a breadth of variety. Lots of people are hired into aerospace straight out of college, with degrees in non-aerospace things like computer science and electrical engineering. A lot of the domain knowledge is hard to come by outside of working in the field, and it's generally not expected for an entry-level role. But even if not strictly requ…
All of this is very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to respond so thoroughly. I'm quite fascinated now, and am going to dig deeper into much of the advice you've given. Thank you!
