Where in California are the roles for sales and business development professionals?
Most are in Hawthorne (31), San Francisco (18), Los Angeles (10), Long Beach (9), as the postings name their sites. A role that names several sites counts at each.

The roles here that state pay post a median $155k/yr, with typical pay from $133k–$276k/yr; 91.8% of California's postings state their pay at all, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. California's law has required employers with 15 or more employees to state a pay range in job postings since 1 Jan 2023 (each state's law beside its postings).
Do roles for sales and business development professionals in California require US citizenship?
Of the 4,856 space postings in California whose text we read, 76.4% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 35.6% 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 California, 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 sales and business development professionals; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
