Default Please Help Me Find A Mechanical Engineering Job In San Diego!!!!

As some of you know I just moved to San Diego in June. I had two classes to take to complete my bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering. Now that I have graduated, I need a job!


Do any of you work in Engineering firms? I'm pretty much open to anything at this point. I have about 7 months experience at ITT Industries in Rochester NY. I was a finite element analyst and did a little bit of CAD as well. I graduated from the University of Rochester with a 3.1 overall GPA and around a 3.2 engineering GPA. I've got a resume ready!

Thanks a ton guys!

I believe Lockheed has a location around there. You could apply if you don't mind aerospace

I think a friend of mine works at Lockheed. When I get the chance, I'll ask him if there are any openings.

D'oh

I was mistaken, he doesn't work for Lockheed but for Northrop Grumman. I did ask him to look into whether or not they have any openings there. He should get back to me within the next day or so....so, I'll let you know.

Alrighty, my friend got back to me. He mentioned to me that at the location he works at (Carmel Valley) currently does not have any job openings. Although, what he did mention is that their facility in Ranch Bernardo (North County San Diego) just got a large contract and is probably going to be looking for people.

I think the best thing to do is go through Careers page on the Northrop Grumman site. I did a quick search on the site myself and there seems to be a few engineering positions available in the San Diego area. Although I'm not too sure of where in San Diego, the website didn't specify that.

Best of luck to you and your job search

Don't get too discouraged. Just keep calling around and resume dropping and you'll find something. Good luck
