It is an excellent career choice, and you have an excellent chance since your English composition is very good (except for capital letters....avoid shortcuts).  Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering blend very well.  I don't know about jobs. Check the Boeing website.  The important thing is that a good engineer can always find a job in the U.S.. We are dependent on technology and short of technologists. Some of my best engineer colleagues were from India.  Good luck.
