Space Jobs for Test Engineers in Maryland

Today, Northrop Grumman (5 roles), AST SpaceMobile (2 roles), Quantum Space (2 roles), Viasat (2 roles), Peraton (1 role), Telesat (1 role). The table above lists every employer with a role open in Maryland.

Most are in Linthicum (4), Germantown (2), Lanham (2), Rockville (2), as the postings name their sites. A role that names several sites counts at each.

The roles here that state pay post a median $176k/yr, with typical pay from $135k–$276k/yr; 79.4% of Maryland's postings state their pay at all, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. Maryland's law has required every employer, for work done at least partly in Maryland to state a pay range in job postings since 1 Oct 2024 (each state's law beside its postings).

Of the 92 space postings in Maryland whose text we read, 65.2% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 13% 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.

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 Maryland, 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 test engineers; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
