Frequently asked questions
Can a non-US citizen work in the space industry?
Yes, but not in every role. Hardware, launch and defense work is often export-controlled, which limits it to US persons; the roles here are the ones whose posting names no such limit. That is what the posting says, not a promise to hire or sponsor, so confirm with the recruiter.
What is a US person under ITAR?
A US citizen, a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) or a protected individual such as a refugee or asylee. A role limited to US persons is closed to anyone on a work visa unless the employer obtains an export license (State Department, ITAR).
What do these roles pay?
The no-US-person-limit jobs open today that state an hourly rate post a median of $22 an hour for programs & business, $35.34 an hour for technicians, $30.92 an hour for systems & test, $30.61 an hour for software & IT and $32.25 an hour for mechanical (the middle of each posted range).
Which employers have the most no-US-person-limit jobs?
Of the jobs open today, the most are at Thales Alenia Space (320), Relativity Space (186), European Space Agency (ESA) (182), ArianeGroup (154) and OHB (137).
