my dad was a pm for this stuff. i have no idea what he did as he retired by the time i was 8 (92) but this was his world.
anyone know anything else about this stuff? i’ve often considered trying to recreate his career path. (he died about 5 years ago.)
- toomuchtodo 2y agoSeek out roles at defense contractors related to work on the weapons systems in question.
- M3L0NM4N 2y agoI just started a software engineering job at Lockheed Martin a couple weeks ago working on communication systems. Not sure if I can say what though to be honest, and I’m going to err on the side of safety here. I’ll be working on F-22 communications in a few months when/if my program clearance comes through. Super cool so far though.
- kelp 2y agoI can't really help with what you're specifically looking for, but I'm pretty sure my grandfather worked on these as an engineer. He retired from Boeing in 1985. Died almost 20 years ago.
- CuriousCosmic 2y agoIt's honestly not too hard to go down a similar path. Defense contractors are literally always hiring and most job apps will give you a decent idea of what you are working with so you can more or less pick your poison before you even join. Of course long term you'll get moved around but you can generally pick your site (which decides what you work on).
