Week in Space Data, every Friday.
Salary bands for the 18 roles HawkEye 360 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 HawkEye 360's listings. How the estimates are made.
HawkEye 360's median band midpoint of $138k sits 2% above the SpaceNexus industry benchmark of $135k: the median of the BLS national median wages (OEWS, May 2025) behind our 51 benchmark roles, checked 2026-10. 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.

Engineering roles at HawkEye 360 currently show a median band of $105k–$215k per year across 5 live listings (SpaceNexus estimates: BLS middle half of national pay for each title's occupation, adjusted for metro). Across all 18 open roles the median band is $105k–$170k.
18 live roles as of Oct 13, 1:51 PM UTC, synced from HawkEye 360's own careers page, led by finance, legal and people (4), avionics and electrical (3), manufacturing and technicians (2). The largest locations are Herndon, VA, European Union, Japan.
None of HawkEye 360's 18 current postings state a range, so every band on this page is a SpaceNexus estimate: the title is matched to one of our 51 benchmark roles, each set to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (OEWS, May 2025) national wages for its closest occupation; the band is the middle half of that pay (25th to 75th percentile), adjusted for metro where BLS has an area figure. Estimates are guidance, not offers.
Counts are live as of Oct 13, 1:51 PM UTC. Listings mirror HawkEye 360'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 HawkEye 360.
