AI Thread Summary
Co-op students seeking physics-related job opportunities in Montreal can consider several key options. Major companies like Bombardier and Lockheed Martin have a presence in the city, potentially offering relevant positions. Local universities, particularly McGill, are valuable resources for networking and advice; reaching out to their Physics, Engineering, or Computer Science departments may yield helpful insights. Additionally, a new planetarium has opened, which might have roles related to astronomy, although these may not be highly technical. Engaging with local professionals and institutions is recommended for exploring available opportunities.

Hi everyone,

I'm starting Co-op next winter and I'm looking for a job in Montreal. I'm not sure what kind of physics opportunities there are in the city. I know that Bombardier is in the area and that they may have jobs related to physics. There may also be opportunities at the universities there like McGill.

Does anyone have any experience they can share?

Thanks

I am not really familiar with the opportunities available in Montreal either, but one thing you can do is reach out to some local universities. Try talking to some people in the Physics department (or even engineering, math, cs if that can be applicable to you) and see if they have any advice/ideas.
 
That's definitely a good idea.

Lockheed Martin also has offices there and they do lots of work similar to to Bombardier.
A new planetarium opened there too. Though I doubt it would be a very technical position I wonder if they need people who know their astronomy.
 
I'm not familiar with physic-related jobs , but if you ever have a general question about Montreal feel free to pm me , I've live there all my life.

Cheers and good luck!
 
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
