17,895 space industry jobs open now at the companies that build, launch and fly spacecraft.

That is the job SpaceJobs.Now does. As of 31 Oct 2026, SpaceJobs.Now brings together 17,895 open space industry roles pulled every hour from the career sites of 147 employers, with salary comparisons across all 147 companies on our list. A posting that an employer repeats across several sites or countries still counts as one role, so the total is the number of distinct space jobs you could actually apply for. Apply buttons go straight to the employer's own application form, and space companies whose boards we cannot read yet still get a listing, so the comparison covers them too.

A space industry job is a role at a company that designs, builds, launches or operates rockets, satellites and spacecraft, or supplies the parts, software and ground systems behind them. Today's board holds 17,895 open space industry jobs, and the three biggest groups by count are Programs & Business (2,855), Technicians (2,362) and Systems & Test (2,295). Each role states what it asks for, from a degree and years of experience to the country you can work from.

Space industry roles typically pay $0/yr. At the top end, pay goes to $0/yr or more.

To get a job in the space industry, you find the employers hiring for what you do, apply through each employer's own application page and go through its interviews. SpaceJobs.Now pulls the live openings of the 147 employers hiring now and compiles pay across all 147 it tracks, so you can compare what each pays and open any role's application in one click.
