Aeronautical Engineer wants to become a Aerospace Design Engineer - Need Advice
(OP)
Hello Everyone,
I'm an Aeronautical Engineer, I love to do design stuff's. I want to become an aerospace design engineer. As for now I'm working in a Engineering Services company, my work is on CATIA V5, I teach CATIA V5 to students and Working Professionals. I also did some college level projects. but nothing related to manufacturing. I know 4 modules in CATIA ( Part design, Assembly Design, Drafting, Wireframe and Surface design). Kindly suggest me what to do next!
Thanks & Regards
Kalees

Define the distinction between "Aeronautical Engineer" & "aerospace design engineer" as you mean the terms.
I've seen terms such as that used interchangeably.
You mention you've done some college level projects - do you have your bachelors or masters or equivalent?
If not in many parts of the world you may not be considered an engineer but as a 'designer', 'drafter', technician or similar.
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?

If you can't get transfer or assignment internally, re-write your resume, emphasize design and start applying. Design is about making things work, and not crapping your pants at the sheer number of things you have to make work. Have fun.

I do not know what CAD software is most popular in the aerospace world. CAD, typically, is user friendly and fairly easy to learn. Design is difficult, and it requires you to know stuff, to have good analytical and problem solving skills, to be organized, and to work as part of a team. With 3D CAD, there usually are about fifteen ways to do anything, and twelve of them are wrong. Much CAD modelling
isought to be done in the context of how you make design decisions, and how you intend to prepare and maintain documentation, and support manufacturing and subsequent engineering.If it were me hiring, I would hire good designers, and teach them how to use the CAD. If you emphasise your CAD stills, you will be hired by the idiots who think the CAD matters.

Good suggestion, but I wouldn't wait for a call. In some instances, you have too.
I don't know your location, but there are a lot of companies looking for what you want.
With an engineering degree (I assume you have) and CATIA experience should get you in somewhere.
