What is the salary range for rocket propulsion and engine jobs at SpaceX?
Where a SpaceX posting gives a range, its row below shows it, but too few of these roles do for a typical figure yet. Propulsion salaries across employers are measured over every company.
Where are SpaceX's rocket propulsion and engine jobs?
They cluster in Hawthorne, CA (16), Starbase, TX (4), Cape Canaveral, FL (1), McGregor, TX (1) and Redmond, WA (1). A role posted at more than one site is counted at each of them.
What does SpaceX look for in these roles?
Usually a mechanical or aerospace engineering degree; technicians and test operators often start from a trade or the military. The posting itself sets the bar (degree, years, clearance or citizenship), so read it first.
How fresh is this list, and where do I apply to SpaceX?
SpaceJobs.Now reads the SpaceX careers site every night; a role drops off once SpaceX takes it down. Open any role for the complete description, and the Apply step hands you to SpaceX's own form. No real space employer charges a fee to be hired, so treat any request for money as a scam.
