Aerospace engineer

An aerospace engineer is an engineer that specializes in the field of aerospace engineering; that is, the branch of engineering that focuses on aircraft and/or spacecraft.

Shannon O'Donnell was an aerospace engineer who worked for NASA during the late 1990s. She lost her job due to "all this downsizing in aerospace," stating that "engineers aren't given the respect they deserve."

An archaic term for aerospace engineer is a rocket scientist, a career that is often perceived as being extremely difficult to master. When Loomis became paranoid about being caught by the police for kidnapping several individuals from the blood bank he worked at after Damron requested him to kidnap two more individuals, Loomis said "look, as soon as they figure out that all these people here have been to the clinic, it won't take a rocket scientist to point the finger at me."
