Common questions about space industry jobs
How SpaceJobs.Now works →Where can I see every space industry job in one place?
That is the job SpaceJobs.Now does. As of 31 Oct 2026, SpaceJobs.Now brings together 17,813 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.
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. Today's board holds 17,813 open space industry jobs, and the three biggest groups by count are Programs & Business (2,752), Technicians (2,366) and Systems & Test (2,264). Each role states what it asks for, from a degree and years of experience to the country you can work from.
What does a space industry job pay?
Space industry roles typically pay $113k–$250k/yr. The median sits at $145k/yr, worked out live from 10,362 distinct posted rates at 101 employers in the 17,813 roles open now. At the top end, one role on today's board offers $1.5M/yr. These figures leave out 6,695 open roles whose postings name no pay.
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. 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.
Can you get into the space industry without a degree or experience?
Sometimes. Each posting sets its own requirements, and they vary widely. Space roles open to people with no experience have a page of their own, showing the pay and whatever they still require, which is often a country or one specific skill.
Can you work in the space industry from outside the US?
For some roles, yes. 0% of the 17,813 roles open now accept applicants from any country, and 1% can be done remotely. Plenty of others require a particular site or country; to see what you could apply for from home, start with the country pages.
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.
