Space industry insights every Monday & Thursday.
Salary bands for the 21 roles Satellogic 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 Satellogic's listings. How the estimates are made.
Satellogic's median band midpoint of $126k sits 12% 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.
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 | 4 | $100k–$150k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Other roles | 4 | – | No match in dataset |
| Software engineering | 3 | $85k–$125k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Mechanical, structures and thermal | 2 | $110k–$160k | SpaceNexus estimate |
| Other engineering | 2 | – | No match in dataset |
| Systems engineering | 2 | $110k–$160k |
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.

None of Satellogic's 21 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 26, 7:39 AM UTC. Listings mirror Satellogic'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 Satellogic.
