Aerospace Engineering Recruitment
Terrelonge Staffing Solutions is a recruiting partner for aerospace and defense employers that need engineers. We source, screen, and place engineering talent across structures, systems, manufacturing, avionics, and propulsion, on a contract, temp-to-hire, or direct hire basis.
A Recruiting Partner That Understands Engineering
Finding the right engineer is not a keyword search. We recruit within aerospace and defense, we screen for real technical depth, and we move at the pace your program demands.
Engineering-Specific Sourcing
We recruit for aerospace and defense engineering roles specifically, drawing on a candidate network built across OEMs, Tier 1 to 3 suppliers, and MRO operations. We understand the difference between a design engineer and a manufacturing engineer, and we screen accordingly.
Technical Screening, Not Keyword Matching
Our recruiters screen candidates on real engineering experience, drawing interpretation, tolerance and design intent, and familiarity with aerospace documentation and configuration control, before we ever present them to your team.
Clearance and Compliance Awareness
For defense and government-related programs, we work with roles that require security clearance and understand ITAR, EAR, and AS9100 environments. We confirm clearance status, citizenship, and export control eligibility before submission where applicable.
Rapid Response for Program Demands
Aerospace programs move on tight schedules. Whether you need to backfill a key engineer, ramp a new program, or staff a surge in workload, we can move quickly to present qualified candidates rather than starting a search from scratch.
Cross-Discipline Coverage
From structures and propulsion to avionics and systems, we recruit across the engineering disciplines that aerospace employers need. One partner for multiple engineering functions, rather than a piecemeal approach.
Flexible Engagement Models
Hire a contract engineer for a defined program, use temp-to-hire to evaluate fit on the job, or bring on a permanent direct hire. We tailor the engagement to your program budget and headcount plan.
Aerospace Engineering Positions We Place
From design and analysis to manufacturing and systems, here are representative engineering roles we recruit for. If your need is not listed, contact us, we recruit across the engineering function.
Aerospace Design Engineer
Engineers who develop and detail aircraft and spacecraft structures, components, and assemblies using CAD tools such as CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks, working to aerospace design standards and customer specifications.
Manufacturing Engineer
Engineers who bridge design and production, developing manufacturing processes, work instructions, tooling requirements, and process improvements to move parts from drawing to delivered hardware.
Systems Engineer
Engineers who manage requirements, interfaces, and integration across complex aerospace systems, ensuring subsystems work together and that verification and validation activities are complete.
Stress Engineer
Engineers who perform structural analysis using hand calculations and FEA tools such as Nastran or Abaqus, validating that components and assemblies meet strength, stiffness, and fatigue requirements.
Avionics and Electrical Engineer
Engineers who design, integrate, and test avionics systems, wiring, and embedded electronics for aircraft and defense platforms, including harness design, system testing, and qualification.
Propulsion Engineer
Engineers with experience in jet engines, turbo machinery, rocket propulsion, and related test and integration work, supporting development, qualification, and production programs.
Quality Engineer
Engineers who uphold AS9100 quality systems, lead root cause and corrective action, support first article inspection, and partner with engineering and production to resolve non-conformances.
Project and Program Engineer
Engineers who coordinate cross-functional program execution, manage schedules and technical risk, and serve as the technical interface between engineering, manufacturing, and the customer.
Flexible Staffing for Engineering Teams
Every program has a different budget and timeline. Choose the engagement model that fits your hiring plan.
Contract Engineering
Bring in qualified engineers for a defined program or duration. Ideal for surges, backfills, and program-specific needs without adding permanent headcount.
Temp-to-Hire
Evaluate an engineer on the job before making a permanent offer. A practical way to confirm technical fit and team fit before committing.
Direct Hire
Full-cycle permanent placement for engineering roles, with deep screening and a replacement guarantee, when you need a long-term addition to the team.
Aerospace and Defense Engineering Employers
We work with employers across the aerospace and defense supply chain, including:
