QUESTION: sir, i am doing MS in aero space engineering.what are the job opportunities in this field?

ANSWER: Without knowing what your specific focus is (eg aerodynamics, structures, flight mechanics, etc.) I'd really have a hard time telling you what job opportunities are out there....also, I have no idea what region you are from...  suffice to say job opportunities abound in the aerospace field...  companies like Boeing, Lockheed, and Northrup Grumman in the US and many others are doing more business now than ever.  The change of administration is a bit of an unknown...  the nice thing about an aerospace engineer is they closely resemble a mechanical engineer and thus have additional opportunities in that realm also...

QUESTION: sir,my specialisation in aero space is aircraft design and im doing my MS in Sanjose state university.Can you please tell me the job oppertunities?

Answer
There are several companies that you have potential to work for...  The big ones that come to mind are obviously Boeing, Lockheed, and Northrup Grumman.  If you are not a US citizen, then you may find a job with some of the smaller business jet manufacturers for example, Cessna, Bombardier (in Canada), Embraer (in Brazil) and Dassault Aviation (in France).  Even Toyota and Honda are making aircraft now.  You should contact some of these companies (websites) to see if they are hiring.
As I mentioned before, you also have the option to pursue a job more closely tied to mechanical engineers...  

Hope I've helped you some,
