Default UAV Jobs

This is a great idea for a forum...
I would like to extend an invitation to all readers to please visit our employment page!
I have been looking for engineers for 3 years and have had little luck. But being as our
business is sort of overgrown models... I thought there might be some modelers out
there who frequent RCUniverse who might be qualified and want to work at such an
awesome company!!!

http://search9.smartsearchonline.com...cjobsearch.asp

I think we currently have about 500 open positions...

It seems that every year, GA-ASI is voted top 10 aerospace companies to work at
in the Aviation Week polls.

We are the manufacturer and designers of the Predator and Predator B UAV's.
Another recent model is the Warrior built for the Army.. this is a 4000 pound Diesel
powered UAV!!!

Thanks Marc!! This will be a thread I frequent!!!!

I graduate a number of BS and MS Computer Engineering students every year who have build UAV flight control and payload systems for their senior projects/ MS thesis. You can see some of our stuff in the other post (http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=6506905). These kids could slide right into a number of positions that were listed on the website and be productive the next day... We should talk!

Does your company work with current college students at all? When I did a search for internships, nothing came up. I'm a 19-year-old with a Private Pilot's Certificate, and I've been in R/C for 6 years. Finding a career opportunity that involves working with UAVs would be a dream come true!

I usually consider applicants for internships after they have finished their 2nd year....

Check www.insitu.com for possible intern openings. We usually have several interns in various positions at any given time.

Mith,

I've talked with your company a couple of times after they contacted me but I was always "outbound" or "in service" when they called. Never heard anything back from them after that.

Send me a resume and I will forward it to the appropriate managers in addition to submitting to our HR dept.

I am looking for an FEA Engineer.
We are always looking for A&P's and Elec-Tech... 'specially those that will deploy to
some rather unsavory regions of the globe.

If someone with those qualifications would work out, please let me know.

If I recall correctly, General Atomics has their primary manufacturing facility a bit east of San Diego, with operations centers in the Palmdale, CA area. If you're a ground crew typ you could expect to go play in a couple of "conflict" type areas. That's the nature of the work. ISR and uavs are not typically fields used much in the civilian world yet. Yet.

America is great - I can't imagine a french aerospace company hiring engineers on a RC forum.
I used to live in Canada when I was young and/so I also have the canadian citizenship - can I work in your company ?
