Business outlook
Pros
Work on complex, real-world defence and aerospace systems. The work is highly multidisciplinary, combining mechatronics, electronics, control systems, and software, which creates continuous technical growth and exposure to systems-level engineering rather than isolated components.
Cons
One of the main challenges is that, like many defence and specialised engineering environments, compensation may not always match the intensity or niche skill level of the work compared to private-sector or overseas opportunities. However, this is often balanced by the experience gained and the complexity of the systems you work on.
