Ashney watches SpaceX's own careers board all day. Here is what is open right now: where, which teams, what the postings pay, what they ask for and which governments list SpaceX as a visa sponsor.
Does SpaceX sponsor visas?
SpaceX appears on the official sponsor list of one country. These are the governments' own records, checked against the legal entity that hires there.
| Country | Official record | SpaceX entity | Evidence | Tagged open roles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | H-1B sponsor | Space Exploration Technologies Corp. | 21 H-1B filings, last 4 quarters | 263 |
What this does and doesn't mean. Being on a list shows SpaceX has sponsored work visas in that country. It doesn't promise a given role will, so ask the recruiter before you apply.
