Aerospace engineers research, design and develop aerospace vehicles, aerospace systems and their components, and perform duties related to their testing, evaluation, installation, operation and maintenance.

• Design and develop aerospace vehicles, systems and components such as aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, satellites and space-based communication systems
  
• Develop and conduct computer simulations of aerospace vehicles, systems and components using advanced mathematical modelling
  
• Prepare specifications for materials and processes to be used in aerospace manufacturing, maintenance, repair or modification
  
• Supervise and co-ordinate the manufacturing, assembly, modification, repair and overhaul of aircraft and spacecraft
  
• Co-ordinate ground and flight tests of air and spacecraft
  
• Develop operational specifications, maintenance schedules and manuals for operators
  
• Develop the technical phases of logistical and operational support for aerospace vehicles and systems
  
• Investigate and report on structural or other component or system failures, accidents or incidents and prepare recommendations for corrective action.
