RTX salaries
Salary bands for the 22 roles RTX 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 RTX's listings. How the estimates are made.

Vs industry benchmark
+11%
midpoint $160k vs $144k
RTX's median band midpoint of $160k sits 11% 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.
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 RTX salaries stated by the company or estimated?
None of RTX's 22 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 Oct 7, 4:43 PM UTC. Listings mirror RTX'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 RTX.
