Go online and google engineer jobs aerospace.

Register on USA Jobs and search the categories there (government jobs).

I'm an ME too, and tried to get an engineering job when furloughed....similar experience, but I'd been out of school for 20 years, and they wanted a college grad with CADCAM experience, not an old guy with a drafting table.

There are really only two major airframe companies now (Boeing and Lockheed). Northrop Grumman is more in electronics and drones.

GA still has Cessna, Piper, and whatever Beech falls under these days.

Some of the more established homebuilt companies (Vans; Lancair) might employ a small engineering shop.

Weapons contractors like Hughes and Raytheon will have big departments for missiles.

Good luck!
