Space industry insights every Monday & Thursday.
Salary bands for the 17 roles GITAI has open right now, by role family and location. Where a posting states a range we show it verbatim; otherwise the band is a SpaceNexus estimate: the same bands that appear on GITAI's listings. How the estimates are made.
GITAI's median band midpoint of $125k sits 13% below the SpaceNexus industry benchmark of $144k: the median across 58 curated space-industry roles, US base salary, as of 2026-08. Mix matters: an employer hiring mostly technicians will sit below a benchmark weighted toward engineers, and vice versa.
Titles are clustered into families (a "Senior Propulsion Engineer" and a "Turbomachinery Lead" both land in Propulsion). The band is the median of the family's listings.
| Role family | Open | Median band | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical, structures and thermal | 5 | $100k–$150k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Internships and co-ops | 4 | $70k–$100k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Avionics and electrical | 3 | – | No match in dataset |
| Facilities, EHS and security | 1 | – | No match in dataset |
| Finance, legal and people | 1 | – | No match in dataset |
| Other roles | 1 | – | No match in dataset |
Estimates are adjusted for metro (LA/Bay +20%, Seattle +15%, DC +10%, Houston and remote −5%, Huntsville −10%); stated ranges are the employer's own.

Engineering roles at GITAI currently show a median band of $118k–$163k per year across 8 live listings (SpaceNexus estimates, matched to each title and adjusted for seniority and location). Across all 17 open roles the median band is $100k–$150k.
17 live roles as of Sep 26, 7:37 AM UTC, synced from GITAI's own careers page, led by mechanical, structures and thermal (5), internships and co-ops (4), avionics and electrical (3). The largest locations are Los Angeles, California, United States.
None of GITAI's 17 current postings state a range, so every band on this page is a SpaceNexus estimate: our benchmark dataset of 58 roles (as of 2026-08) matched to the title and adjusted for seniority and metro. Estimates are guidance, not offers.
Counts are live as of Sep 26, 7:37 AM UTC. Listings mirror GITAI's careers page; large employers often post the same role in several locations. Bands labelled "SpaceNexus estimate" are guidance from a benchmark dataset, not offers. Nothing here is a statement by GITAI.
| Propulsion | 1 | $165k–$240k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Test and integration | 1 | $135k–$180k | SpaceNexus estimate |
