Entry-Level Space Jobs in New Mexico

Today, Rocket Lab (6 roles), AeroVironment (AV) (4 roles), Virgin Galactic (1 role). The table above lists every employer with a role open in New Mexico.

Most are in Albuquerque (10), Truth or Consequences (1), as the postings name their sites. A role that names several sites counts at each.

The roles here that state pay post a median $41.6k/yr, with typical pay from $37.4k–$97.9k/yr; 19% of New Mexico's postings state their pay at all, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. New Mexico 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).

Of the 21 space postings in New Mexico whose text we read, 100% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 0% 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 New Mexico, by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are, and its title says it is for someone starting out (an internship, an apprenticeship, a new graduate or a first-level role) by the same rule as every entry-level space job; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
