New Zealand Engineering (Aerospace/Mechanical)

[CUBOID88]

Hi Guys,

I'm assuming this is a bit of an ambitious question but here goes. I'm an Applied Physics (B.Sc) graduate, and have been working for an Aviation MRO in Ireland for the past year since graduating from university. Aerospace is my industry of choice at the moment, but my real goal is to get into either the space industry or advanced materials sector, with a particular interest in CFD & FEA etc. I'm moving to New Zealand in a month or so and was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to good companies to apply to. If anyone has any knowledge of even some closely related companies in New Zealand I'd appreciate very much some info. Unfortunately the economic situation in Ireland dictates that graduates such as myself leave for greener pastures and I'm trying to gather as much info as possible so as to land a position that would help in furthering my career. Does anyone know if research groups in universities such as Auckland and Canterbury take on Graduate students without postgrad/Masters degrees?

Thanks in advance.

P.S - If there's a more suitable Forum for this please let me know!

Thanks a million guys, that's more than I could have asked for! RocketLab would be my number one, I came across them before, seems like they'd be pretty tough to get into though. But alas, I will persevere!
