Here is a job that sounds made up the first time you hear it. Someone gets paid to help fly a brand new aircraft or rocket stage before anyone is sure it works. That person is a flight test engineer, and if you have ever wanted a space career that puts you close to the […]
Here is something I wish more people knew: you do not need to be a rocket scientist to work on rockets. Some of the most important people in the space industry never design a thing. They check it. If you like details, you like being the person who notices what everyone else missed, and you […]
Okay, let’s talk about the company that puts a lot of America’s most important satellites into orbit. If you have ever wondered how to get a job at United Launch Alliance, you are in the right place. ULA is real, it is hiring across many kinds of roles, and you do not have to be […]
Here is something I wish more people knew: you do not need a four-year engineering degree to work on real spacecraft. If you have been asking yourself how to become an aerospace technician, the answer is more possible than you think. Technicians are the people who build, test, and fix the hardware that actually flies. […]
Let me guess. You love space, you have no idea if a company like Northrop Grumman would ever hire someone like you, and the job site makes your eyes glaze over. I get it. I have been there. Here is the good news: how to get a job at Northrop Grumman is a question with […]
Hi, I’m Emma. If you have ever looked at a Lockheed Martin Space job posting and thought, “That is not for me,” I want to change your mind. A Lockheed Martin Space career is more reachable than it looks, and you do not have to be a rocket scientist to land one. Let’s go step […]
Let me guess. You have seen a Firefly launch or a lunar lander headline and thought, “Cool, but those people are all rocket scientists.” Here is the real story: they are not. Firefly Aerospace hires machinists, quality inspectors, supply chain folks, software developers, and test technicians. If you want to know how to get a […]
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I know what you might be thinking. This is a space site. Why are we talking about cancer? Here is the real answer: some of the most important cancer research on the planet happens 250 miles above it, and the people doing that work need more than astronauts. […]
Here is something I wish someone had told me earlier: the space industry runs on words. Every rocket, satellite, and rover has a stack of documents behind it, and someone has to write them. If you have ever wondered how to become a space industry technical writer, you are asking about one of the most […]
Here is something nobody told you when you started dreaming about rockets: you can land one of the best space industry marketing jobs without ever touching a wrench. I know, because I have watched people with English degrees, design portfolios and event-planning backgrounds get hired into space companies. Real people. Real jobs. Hiring right now. […]
Here’s something almost nobody tells you: rockets don’t fly because of engineers alone. They fly because someone, somewhere, negotiated the contract that paid for the fuel, the launch pad, and the parts. If you’ve been searching for a way into the space industry that doesn’t start with a physics degree, a space industry contracts specialist […]
Here is something nobody tells you when you start looking into space careers: someone has to run the whole show. Every rocket launch, every satellite build, every Mars rover mission has a person (or a whole team of people) making sure the schedule holds, the budget works, and every engineering team is actually talking to […]
