- Bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, or related engineering from an accredited program
- Active or obtainable U.S. security clearance, often required by Florida defense contractors
- Professional Engineer license eligibility through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers
- Hands-on experience with CAD tools such as CATIA, SolidWorks, or equivalent design software

Aerospace Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a aerospace engineer in Florida?
Start with a bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, or electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program. Florida does not require a state license to work as an aerospace engineer in most industry roles, but earning licensure as a Professional Engineer through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers strengthens your candidacy for senior positions and government contracts. Many Florida employers also expect candidates to qualify for a security clearance, so U.S. citizenship is a practical prerequisite for a large share of openings.
Which companies hire aerospace engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring aerospace engineers in Florida right now include Burns & McDonnell, Cyient, and Blue Origin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's concentration of defense primes, NASA contractors, and commercial space companies means the employer base is unusually deep compared with most states.
Which Florida cities have the most aerospace engineer jobs?
Jupiter, Orlando, and Melbourne account for the largest share of aerospace engineer openings in Florida. The Space Coast corridor around Cape Canaveral and Melbourne leads because of NASA's Kennedy Space Center and the dense cluster of launch and defense contractors nearby, while Orlando draws engineering talent through simulation and systems integrators, and Tampa Bay supports avionics and defense electronics work tied to MacDill Air Force Base.
Are there remote aerospace engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Most aerospace engineering work requires physical access to hardware, test facilities, or classified environments, which limits fully remote arrangements. About 0% of aerospace engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those postings tend to cover modeling, analysis, and software-defined systems roles rather than hands-on test or manufacturing positions.
How can I get hired as a aerospace engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to internship or new-graduate programs run by Florida's major defense and space contractors, including Lockheed Martin's Early Career programs and Boeing's campus recruiting pipeline, both of which hire from Florida universities like Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach and the University of Central Florida. Entry roles with titles like junior systems engineer, test technician, or manufacturing engineer frequently serve as the on-ramp. A completed senior capstone project, a private pilot certificate, or progress toward a Professional Engineer designation all give early-career candidates a measurable edge.
Where can I find and apply to aerospace engineer jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to aerospace engineer jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across defense, space, and aviation employers. Search the listings, find the roles that match your background and location, and apply directly through each posting.
