Too few of the roles here state their pay to give a median: 9.6% of Texas's postings state pay, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state.

Of the 1,687 space postings in Texas whose text we read, 78.7% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 3.4% name a security clearance, by our research on who can apply, which compares every state. Each posting states its own rule, often citing export control under ITAR or the EAR.

How is this list made?

We read each employer's own job board every hour. A role is listed here when it is a US role and its own location line names a place in Texas, by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are, and its title names the profession by the same rule as the page for machinists; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
