The Cirrus Aircraft Corporation (originally Cirrus Design) is an aircraft manufacturer that was founded in 1984 by Alan and Dale Klapmeier to produce the VK-30 kit aircraft. The company headquarters is located in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. As of June 2015, Cirrus had delivered over 6,000 aircraft in 16 years of production. The company is owned by China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (CAIGA), itself owned by Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), which is in turn wholly owned by the Government of the People's Republic of China. Cirrus markets several versions of its three certificated models, the SR20, SR22 and SR22T. It was planning to market a light-sport aircraft, the Cirrus SR Sport, but suspended the project in 2009 due to costs and lack of market demand. This has since been cancelled. The Cirrus Vision SF50 single-engine jet is currently under development.

The interview process at Cirrus Aircraft is similar to competitors. There is a basic skills assessment which covers topics including but not limited to reading, writing, speaking, and simple math. Applicants must bring their resume with them to the interview. Some applicants go through a email screening prior to progressing to an in person interview. Former employees have reported that it is important to show that you are capable of handling stressful situations, working in a fast paced setting, have a flexible schedule, and collaborating with colleagues. Once through the screening process, all new hires are required to go through a formal training.
