Originally posted by progressiveMOJO I actually need a job too. If it helps, I'm studying aerospace engineering (could also do mechanical engineering type things) at Stanford, send me a PM if you've got ideas.

I have two cousins that are former engineers at NASA in Houston. Got an updated resume? One of them is now a professor at USC. So he may be able to help you out there. Send me a PM

Originally posted by Zild I was thinking of applying there Packer, but I need to graduate first.

How long do you have? I have no doubt that you would not only find work of interest here, but that you'd be a good candidate for some of those positions. Take a look at the job postings, there are new ones opening all the time: http://www.swri.org/hr/default.htm

This is a list of SwRI's technical divisions:

Aerospace Electronics & Information Technology
Applied Physics
Automation & Data Systems
Chemistry & Chemical Engineering
Engine, Emissions & Vehicle Research
Fuels & Lubricants Research
Geosciences & Engineering
Mechanical & Materials Engineering
Signal Exploitation & Geolocation
Space Science & Engineering
Training, Simulation & Performance Improvement

yeah i should have been more specific, I just need a job until mid-september, cause I still need to graduate.

Considering his past exploits, Jacob's a shoo-in for the "Fuels & Lubricants" division.

+1

Especially in Houston. I don't know what type of engineering you are going into, but there's many industries there that have a plethora (Si, El Guapo. You have many plethora) of intern and entry level positions.

probably true but I have almost no idea how to go about looking for one. just cruise online help wanted ads or what? also: aerospace/mechanical engineering.

I'm putting in an app to SwRI just in case, but I'd rather not live in SA

If you would like I can contact both of my cousins (one still in Houston and one in LA) and see if they can at least point you in the right direction.

that would be great, thanks.

I put an email in to Charles, my cousin that lives in Houston. He is a minister now and travels a lot. So I may not hear from him for another week or so. I don't know how to get in touch with Jeff. The number I had for him isn't working now. It's been about 4 or 5 years since I spoke to him. I'll stay on it though.
