Salary bands for the 342 roles Relativity Space 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 Relativity Space's listings. How the estimates are made.
Relativity Space's median band midpoint of $150k sits 4% above 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing and technicians | 95 | $98k–$135k | Stated in posting (2 of 89) |
| Mechanical, structures and thermal | 46 | $85k–$115k | Stated in posting (1 of 46) |
| Other engineering | 39 | $150k–$210k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Propulsion | 31 | $100k–$140k | Stated in posting (1 of 31) |
| Avionics and electrical | 25 | $160k–$225k | SpaceNexus estimate |
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.

4 of 342 postings (1%) state a salary range; those are shown verbatim and labelled "Stated in posting". The rest carry 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 13, 9:33 PM UTC. Listings mirror Relativity Space'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 Relativity Space.
