Usually an electrical or computer engineering degree and experience with the hardware the role names (board design, power electronics, FPGA development). Each listing states the degree, the tools and the location it asks for. Of the 84 open roles for electrical engineers whose requirements we read, 78 a bachelor's or a degree and 6 name no degree.

An electrical engineer at a space company designs and tests the vehicle's electrical system: flight computers and avionics boxes, power generation and distribution, circuit boards and FPGAs, and the harnesses that connect them, then supports them through integration and flight.

Each employer runs its own hiring, and each listing says what it asks for: the degree or the hands-on experience, the location, and for export-controlled work in the US, often U.S. person status.

Every role here is read from a space employer's own careers page or job board (Muon Space, Hubble Network, Outpost and Momentus among them), and each employer's page here covers who they are and how they hire. A real employer never charges you to apply, never asks you to buy equipment and never interviews you only by chat app.
