Common questions about space industry jobs
How SpaceIndustry.jobs works →Is there one website that lists all space industry jobs?
SpaceIndustry.jobs is built for that. As of 29 Oct 2026, SpaceIndustry.jobs lists 7,632 open space industry roles from the job boards of 41 employers in one place, read every hour, and compares the pay of all 41 employers it tracks. Each role is counted once, however many cities or countries its employer posts it for, so the count is of space industry roles a person can apply to. Every role links to the employer's own application, and employers whose job board we do not read are listed too, so you can compare them before you apply.
What is a space industry job?
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. Of the 7,632 space industry jobs open today, the largest categories are Technicians (1,412), Programs & Business (1,054), and Software & IT (825). Each role states what it asks for, from a degree and years of experience to the country you can work from.
How much do space industry jobs pay?
Typical space industry work pays $100k–$230k/yr, a live median of $133k/yr measured from 3,705 distinct rates advertised across 33 employers, drawn from today's 7,632 open roles. The best-paid roles reach $600k/yr on today's board. A further 3,920 open roles publish no pay at all, so they are not in these figures.
How do you get a job in the space industry?
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. SpaceIndustry.jobs pulls the live openings of the 41 employers hiring now and compiles pay across all 41 it tracks, so you can compare what each pays and open any role's application in one click.
Do you need experience or a degree to start?
Not always. Requirements differ from role to role, and each role states its own; the roles that ask for no experience are listed with what they pay and what they still ask for, often a country or a skill.
Do you have to live in the US to work in the space industry?
Not necessarily. Of the 7,632 roles open today, 1% are open to workers in any country and 6% are remote. Many roles are tied to one site or one country; the country pages show what is open where you live.
Are these real jobs?
Yes. Every role here is read from an employer's own job board, and its Apply button opens that employer's own application page. Each employer page shows what it pays and what it is hiring for, so you can judge before you apply.
