Remote Space Jobs

Yes, though they are a minority. Of the 8,042 open space industry roles we track right now, 450 (6%) are fully remote. Building, testing and launching hardware is done on site, so most roles are too; the lists below show which kinds of work have remote roles today.

Among the employers with a remote role open on this page are Muon Space, Hubble Network, Turion Space. You can filter the live job board to remote-only roles and browse every employer.

Often not: a remote role is usually remote within one country, and many US space roles state that they require a U.S. person under export-control rules (ITAR or EAR). Each listing says where it is open. The live job board shows only the remote roles open in your country, and the country pages list the roles open in each country.

Across the space industry roles open today that state their pay, typical pay is $100k–$230k/yr (the 25th percentile of what roles pay (the middle of each posted range, as a year's pay: an hourly rate counts at 2,080 hours, 40 a week for 52 weeks) to the 90th-percentile posted top), with a median of $132k/yr. Pay depends most on the kind of work and the seniority: see the live pay benchmarks for each.

It depends on the role. Entry-level space jobs (internships, co-ops, apprenticeships and new graduate roles) are made for people starting out, while most engineering roles ask for an engineering degree and years of practice. Every kind of work lists its open roles and what they pay.
