Questions about space jobs in Europe
Which space companies are hiring in Europe?
Thales Alenia Space (346), OHB (239), ArianeGroup (206), ICEYE (179), Airbus Defence and Space (163), Isar Aerospace (129) have the most open roles that take people from a country of Europe, of 2,491 in all at 69 employers. Our research on where space jobs are lists every one.
Which European countries have the most space jobs?
Germany (846), France (840), United Kingdom (360), Spain (173), Italy (149), Finland (144). A role open in several European countries counts in each of them.
Can I apply from another European country?
Each posting says where it takes people from. Of the 2,491 open roles here, 2,403 take people from one European country only and 88 from several, such as roles open across the member states of an agency. Each country's page lists the roles open to people there.
How is this list made?
We read every open role on the space employers' own job boards every hour and keep each posting's country rule. A role is listed when its posting says it takes people from a country of Europe. Europe is geographic Europe (the EU, the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and the rest of the continent). A posting that states no country rule is not counted. The same rule counts them in our research on where space jobs are.
