SpaceX, billionaire Elon Musk’s private spaceflight company, appears to be on a hiring spree. On its careers page, the company–which currently employs more than 3,000 people–lists nearly 200 open positions. The page is up to date, SpaceX spokeswoman Hannah Post tells Popular Science.
Many of the openings are for different types of engineers, but there’s room for everyone from a line cook to a space suit engineer. New college grads might be happy to know there are four types of positions explicitly aimed at them.
The aerospace industry is a major employer in the U.S. (though prone to boom-bust cycles). Take heavyweights like Northrop Grumman, which employs about 70,000, and Boeing, which employs more than 170,000. As private spaceflight gains ground, smaller companies such as SpaceX are adding even more jobs to the industry.
