Where in Texas are the roles for materials engineers and chemists?

Most are in Bastrop (17), Houston (6), Starbase (6), Arlington (1), as the postings name their sites. A role that names several sites counts at each.

How much do space roles for materials engineers and chemists in Texas pay?

Too few of the roles here state their pay to give a median: 1.3% of Texas's postings state pay, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. Texas has no law requiring a pay range in job postings, so a posting there can leave pay out (each state's law beside its postings). For reference, the 1,700 materials engineers working in Texas, in any industry, earn a median $118k/yr (BLS, May 2025, the public record).

Do roles for materials engineers and chemists in Texas require US citizenship?

Of the 1,255 space postings in Texas whose text we read, 87.7% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 1.3% 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 materials engineers and chemists; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
