Questions about SpaceX RF, communications and payload jobs in space
How many RF, communications and payload jobs in space is SpaceX hiring for?
73, counted on the SpaceX careers site at SpaceJobs.Now's latest read, spread over California (29), Washington (29), Texas (19) and Tennessee (2). The full SpaceX openings list sorts every role by discipline.
What is the salary range for RF, communications and payload jobs in space 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. RF & Payloads salaries across employers are measured over every company.
Where are SpaceX's RF, communications and payload jobs in space?
They cluster in Redmond, WA (29), Hawthorne, CA (19), Bastrop, TX (18), Palo Alto, CA (8) and Irvine, CA (4). A role posted at more than one site is counted at each of them.
What does SpaceX look for in these roles?
An electrical engineering degree with RF or signal-processing work; payload roles often want physics or optics. 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.
