I'd like to get out of the Midwest for once and maybe spend some time down south this summer. Thanks.

Airbus has a engineering center here in Mobile, Alabama. They are also opening their first US assembly plant here which already has openings for engineers. At the current Mobile engineering center they are helping develop the Airbus A350 XWB and some work on A330 and A380's.

Georgia employees alot in the aerospace industry. It used to be the leader in the South but I don't know about that anymore.

Jobs are concentrated in the Atlanta area (Cobb Country specifically) due to the Lockheed Marietta plant there and it's suppliers. They built superfortresses there to help fight WWII. Now they build mostly military cargo planes I think.

And Savannah Ga. Thanks to Gulfstream which is head quartered there. If you're young enough you probably know the song "Like a G6". Well they built the G6 and other G's here.

I would not be surprised if Georgia Tech, which was has been ranked the 3rd best public engineering school in the US after Stanford and Berkley several years, supplies interns to these places.

Gotta go Huntsville. It's a mecca for Aerospace/Defense. Heck, NASA has a facility there.
