The aeronautical industry brings together developers and systems designers (aircraft manufacturers, missile builders, satellite designers, those who create embedded electronic systems, and so on), engine manufacturers (propulsion system designers) and equipment manufacturers (tires, electronics, mechanics, and so on). The industry has 3 main categories of employees: engineers, senior technicians and operators.
Here are some examples of careers within this sector
