The job market has been brutal lately, especially in aerospace and engineering. You're definitely not alone. Have you considered adjacent roles like systems engineering or even contract work? Sometimes pivoting a bit can open new doors, but I understand if you want to hold out for another dream job. Networking seems to be the most important thing these days
GE has a couple design roles. I think Ohio has some positions but you will have to move here. I think Collins Aerospace also did have some positions as well.
Better off looking towards the sector that makes things go whosh, then boom and less into the sector that hopes things go whosh and not boom...
That is the sad part of projecting the job market when getting a degree. With your experience you should be able to transition to a different engineering position. Good luck to you.
Yep. I’m having a similar experience in a location typically dominated by Boeing. I’ve been wanting to leave my current employer for 6 months (consumer products, not aero), but design roles are rare and competition is brutal. It seems any pivots are mid-senior roles that require years of experience in MEP system design or manufacturing. Good luck— I hope an aero contractor picks you up soon.
