Space Jobs in North Carolina

Today, Northrop Grumman (8 roles), Sierra Space (3 roles), Boeing (1 role), CACI (1 role), Viasat (1 role). The table above lists every employer with a role open in North Carolina.

Most are in Morrisville (8), Durham (3), Fort Bragg (1), Hertford (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 $135k/yr, with typical pay from $112k–$247k/yr; 100% of North Carolina's postings state their pay at all, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state. North Carolina 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). For reference, the 730 aerospace engineers working in North Carolina, in any industry, earn a median $123k/yr (BLS, May 2025, as our research sets beside the open roles).

Of the 7 space postings in North Carolina whose text we read, 57.1% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 57.1% 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 North Carolina, by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
