Space Jobs in Austin, Texas

Today, SpaceX (26 roles). The table above lists every employer with a role open in Austin, Texas.

Too few of the roles here state their pay to give a median: 1.3% of Texas's postings state pay, which our research on where space jobs are compares state by state.

Of the 1,255 space postings in Texas whose text we read, 87.7% are limited to US citizens or US persons and 1.3% 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 Austin, Texas, by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
