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 $31.13 an hour for mechanical (the middle of each posted range).

Of the jobs open today, the most are at Thales Alenia Space (316), Relativity Space (186), European Space Agency (ESA) (182), ArianeGroup (154) and OHB (136).
