> This company is also in love with the H1-B program. What ? That rings completely counter to everything I know about the aerospace field. I spent my whole undergrad (Indian citizen) building planes and the big reason I left it was that no one in the airplane industry would hire engineers without security clearance. H1B engineers were legally impossible. One of my aunts (US citizen) was a top level exec in GE Aviation, and she straight laughed in my face at the possibility of non-permanent residents / citizens getting jobs at any company deeply involved in defense. I have interviewed (2019) with Pratt and Whitney, and they too made it clear they won't apply for H1bs but they would apply for EB1 Green Cards...until which point (first 2-3 years) I would have to work on the small subset of non-defense projects. My friends who went to US top 10 universities for their masters in Aerospace literally returned to India because no one would hire them and another of my friend who was a scientist at ISRO (and more prestigious Indian defense programs he can't even state on his resume) hasn't gotten any call backs for job applications at Aerospace companies in the US because of being Indian. He has now pivoted to Applied Math as his graduate education. As an Indian, I literally do not know a single person in the US with a job in the aeronautics industry. (Bar one that works at NASA-JPL in robotics and got his PR on hire, but he is literally one of the smartest and hardest working guy I know) Now I understand that you aren't lying. But I would actually love to know more about the type of roles these H1Bs fulfill and how they get past these very real security issues.
