Vs industry benchmark
-8%
midpoint $133k vs $144k
KBR's median band midpoint of $133k sits 8% 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.
By role family
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.

Are these KBR salaries stated by the company or estimated?
None of KBR's 43 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 27, 7:24 AM UTC. Listings mirror KBR'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 KBR.
