Common questions
Can I get a space job without an aerospace degree?
Yes, many roles hire from other fields: electrical, mechanical and software engineers, machinists, welders, electricians and assembly technicians all move across, and supply chain, finance and IT jobs exist at every space company. See space jobs without a degree.
Does citizenship matter?
For much US space work it does, because of export rules. The tool flags this when you mention where you are a citizen; see space jobs for non-US citizens.
Do I pay or sign up?
Neither. Your text goes to an AI model once to produce the answer, and we do not keep it.
