What people ask about mechanical engineers' work on the Space Coast

Which space companies hire mechanical engineers on the Space Coast?

Today, Blue Origin (51 roles), SpaceX (8 roles), Lockheed Martin (6 roles), L3Harris (5 roles), Gravitics (4 roles), United Launch Alliance (4 roles), and 6 more. The table above lists every employer with a role open on the Space Coast.

Where on the Space Coast are the roles for mechanical engineers?

Most are in Cape Canaveral (22), Palm Bay (5), Titusville (4), Melbourne (2), as the postings name their sites. A role that names several sites counts at each.

How much do space roles for mechanical engineers on the Space Coast pay?

The roles here that state pay post a median $145k/yr, with typical pay from $119k–$195k/yr; 35.8% of Florida's postings state their pay at all, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. Florida 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 1,440 mechanical engineers working on the Space Coast, in any industry, earn a median $103k/yr (BLS, May 2025).

Do roles for mechanical engineers on the Space Coast require US citizenship?

Of the 900 space postings in Florida whose text we read, 74.2% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 27.7% 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 on the Space Coast (the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL metropolitan statistical area as the Census Bureau draws it: Brevard County), 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 mechanical engineers; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
