Spain's space employers cover much more of a mission than most candidates expect. PLD Space develops launch vehicles from Alicante; Open Cosmos, SATLANTIS, Aistech Space and FOSSA Systems build spacecraft and payloads; Hispasat, Hisdesat and Sateliot operate communications networks; while ICEYE, SSC Space, OKAPI:Orbits and specialist engineering teams add Earth observation, ground systems and orbital services. The result is a collection for people who want their work to leave the atmosphere, not every company that happens to have an aerospace division.
The vacancies span propulsion, mechanical and electrical engineering, embedded software, radio-frequency systems, flight dynamics, mission control, manufacturing, testing, data products and the commercial teams that sell satellite capacity and imagery. English is common in international engineering programmes, while Spanish appears more often in local operations and corporate roles. Some projects can carry export-control, nationality or security requirements; those conditions belong to the individual advert and are never inferred from collection membership.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which rocket and satellite companies hire in Spain?
- This page tracks 303 openings from 14 employers, including PLD Space, Open Cosmos, Hispasat, ICEYE, SATLANTIS, Sateliot, Kreios Space, Aistech Space, Arkadia Space, SSC Space, OKAPI:Orbits and other space-focused teams.
- What kinds of space jobs appear here?
- Launch-vehicle and propulsion engineering, spacecraft structures, avionics, embedded software, payloads, radio-frequency systems, flight dynamics, mission operations, Earth-observation data, manufacturing, testing and commercial roles all appear across the employer set.
- Is this different from the Aviation & Aerospace collection?
- Yes. Aviation & Aerospace also includes aircraft makers, airlines and diversified engineering groups. Rockets & Satellites is the narrower route for employers whose work is centred on launch, spacecraft, satellite networks or space operations.
- Do space jobs in Spain require Spanish or security clearance?
- Many international engineering teams work substantially in English, but local operational and corporate roles may require Spanish. A minority of controlled projects impose nationality, export-control or clearance conditions. Always use the requirements in the individual advert as the source of truth.
