Week in Space Data, every Friday.
Salary bands for the 19 roles Kepler Communications 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 Kepler Communications's listings. How the estimates are made.
Kepler Communications'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.
| Role family | Open | Median band | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avionics and electrical | 5 | $105k–$170k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Internships and co-ops | 3 | $93k–$158k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Finance, legal and people | 2 | $105k–$220k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Program and project management | 2 | $140k–$215k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Systems engineering | 2 | $105k–$170k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Executive and leadership |
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.
| Location | Open | Median band | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto, Ontario | 16 | $105k–$170k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Canada | 2 | $105k–$195k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| United States | 1 | $125k–$215k | SpaceNexus estimate |
Engineering roles at Kepler Communications currently show a median band of $105k–$170k per year across 9 live listings (SpaceNexus estimates: BLS middle half of national pay for each title's occupation, adjusted for metro). Across all 19 open roles the median band is $105k–$170k.
19 live roles as of Nov 10, 10:50 PM UTC, synced from Kepler Communications's own careers page, led by avionics and electrical (5), internships and co-ops (3), finance, legal and people (2). The largest locations are Toronto, Ontario, Canada, United States. 5 are remote-friendly.
None of Kepler Communications's 19 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 Nov 10, 10:50 PM UTC. Listings mirror Kepler Communications'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 Kepler Communications.
