Careers

Graduates of the undergraduate and graduate programs in the Department of Electrical, Computer, Software, and Systems engineering are in demand by employers in aerospace and other industries. Why? The programs’ focus on technical mastery, hands-on experience, and real-world process prepares graduates to “hit the ground running” in a way that’s difficult to find at other institutions.

Undergraduate program graduates have taken jobs such as avionics engineer, digital systems developer, electrical engineer, embedded systems developer, software engineer, and systems engineer. Master of Software Engineering graduates have assumed positions such as senior software engineer, software program manager, and systems engineer.

Graduates have gone to work for an impressive list of technology-focused corporations and government organizations that include not only major aerospace and defense companies, but also a broad set of computing-centric companies such as AAI, Advanced Micro Devices, Bausch and Lomb, Boeing, Boston Scientific, Cisco Systems, U.S. Department of Defense, Draper Labs, Electronic Arts, FAA, General Dynamics, Harris, IBM, Insitu, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, MITRE, Motorola, NASA, Northrop Grumman, Raydon, Raytheon, , SAAB AB, Soneticom, Sparton Electronics, Symantec, and United Space Alliance.
