Central State-Owned Enterprise Knowledge Community
To help everyone obtain timely information about central state-owned enterprises, I have established a knowledge community that includes preparation methods for written and interview tests for central state-owned enterprises. In addition to introducing preparation methods for exams related to tobacco, power grids, and the three major oil companies, I also provide exclusive and detailed introductions to preparation methods for technical central state-owned enterprises in military, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. I hope this can help everyone secure a position in a genuine state-owned enterprise. Click to view: [My Knowledge Community Introduction].
Today, I will introduce the second-level research institute under AVIC located in Xi’an, Shaanxi—AVIC Computer Research Institute! Backed by the Aviation Industry Group, the projects are primarily national key models, such as embedded computing systems for fighter jets and missiles. This “state-funded” attribute ensures that there is almost no risk of layoffs, and its stability is rated five stars.
1. Company Overview
The Xi’an Aviation Computing Technology Research Institute of China Aviation Industry Corporation, also known as China Aviation Research Institute 631, was established in 1958 and is a professional research institute for the development of airborne and missile-borne computers and aviation software in China.
The institute supports three major technical areas: airborne/missile-borne computers, aviation-specific integrated circuits, and aviation information support technologies, including CFD calculations. It undertakes the development and mass production tasks of various models of aircraft’s airborne/missile-borne computers, with products widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipping, weaponry, electronics, and other fields. It has also developed urban intelligent traffic control systems, digital display systems, and electromechanical equipment control systems as non-aviation civilian products.
It has 44 experts and discipline leaders, including 6 national-level experts and 5 provincial and ministerial-level experts. The institute has 3 master’s degree authorization points (Computer Science and Technology, Software Engineering, Computational Mathematics) and 1 postdoctoral research station. It possesses key laboratories for airborne and missile-borne computers and fluid dynamics (CFD), as well as R&D and production facilities such as an EDA design center and multilayer printed circuit board production lines. Over 200 research achievements have received national, provincial/ministerial, and group company awards.
After more than 60 years of development, it has established a complete professional system for new technology research, model development, product mass production, and maintenance support, becoming the development center for airborne computers, aviation software development center, Xi’an software evaluation center, aviation-specific integrated circuit design center, and aviation equipment component management and application verification center (airborne). Its products are widely used in aviation, aerospace, shipping, weaponry, electronics, and other fields, and it has received over 200 national, provincial/ministerial, and group company awards, making significant contributions to the development of China’s aviation weaponry and equipment.

4. Welfare Benefits
1. Total Salary Package (Master’s 1530w+510w Relocation Fee)
The salary at the 631 Institute (Xi’an Aviation Computing Technology Research Institute) varies by position and year. For example, the software development position for 2024 has a salary of 200,000 plus a 100,000 relocation fee, while a mechanical process engineer earns 180,000 plus a 100,000 relocation fee, and digital IC design can reach 300,000 (plus performance bonuses).
In previous years, for instance, in 2021, the starting salary for a software development engineer was 150,000 plus a 50,000 relocation fee. In simple terms, there is a base salary plus an additional relocation fee to help you settle in Xi’an, and the pay varies by position and time. Core technical positions (like digital IC design) offer higher salaries, and in recent years, salaries have been increasing to attract talent.
However, this information is from recruitment platforms, and the actual amount received depends on the unit’s actual payment and welfare policies, so it’s best to check with the official sources or current employees for accurate figures.
2. Social Security and Housing Fund Benefits

Salary and Relocation Fee: Different standards based on education level; for PhDs, the first-year total package is 230,000 – 480,000, with a relocation fee of 120,000 – 180,000; for Master’s, the first-year total package is 170,000 – 220,000, with a relocation fee of 50,000 – 120,000.

5. Raccoon Review
As a second-level research institute under AVIC, the 631 Institute has been rooted in Xi’an since 1958, almost monopolizing the core R&D of airborne and missile-borne computers in China, truly a “national team” player. Backed by the Aviation Industry Group, the projects are primarily national key models, such as embedded computing systems for fighter jets and missiles. This “state-funded” attribute ensures that there is almost no risk of layoffs, and its stability is rated five stars. Moreover, as an institutional unit, personnel files are managed by personnel agents, and retirement benefits are comparable to those in the system, providing a more “iron rice bowl” feel than ordinary state-owned enterprises.
The 631 Institute is like a “thermos” in the tech circle—steady and warm, suitable for high-educated talents who want to delve into the aviation industry while pursuing life stability. If you are a graduate from a prestigious university and tired of the 35-year-old anxiety in the internet industry, this is definitely a “technical retirement home” where you can work until retirement— and it offers high salaries.
