Frequently asked questions

Can I get a job in the space industry with no experience?

Yes. The roles here say so in their own postings, quoted under each title: new-grad and early-career engineering roles, technician and assembler roles that train you on the floor, and some planning, buying and operations roles. A degree, a trade background or US-person status may still be asked for.

What counts as a role with no experience required?

A posting that states it outright (no prior experience, 0 years, new graduates welcome) or names an entry level of the job. A senior title or a posting asking for years of experience is left out, however junior it looks.

What do entry-level space jobs pay?

The entry-level jobs open today that state an hourly rate post a median of $30 an hour for software & IT, $26.75 an hour for programs & business, $30 an hour for systems & test, $30 an hour for technicians and $32 an hour for mechanical (the middle of each posted range). Each posting states its own range, often the bottom of the level it is hiring into.
