Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'aerospace' (the atmosphere and outer space) plus 'engineer' (a person who designs or maintains systems) yields an engineer who works on aircraft/spacecraft and related systems. This follows a standard noun-noun compounding pattern and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Aerospace engineer links aero (air) and space with engineer, creating a simple image of a person who works on machines that fly in the air and travel into space. That's why it means 'an engineer who designs, builds, and tests aircraft and spacecraft'.
