It depends on the role. Obviously one where you need direct hands-on access to the satellites in the lab is unlikely, but software or other functions that can be done from anywhere are fair game. We have a fair number of people who are remote, and we go to great lengths to cater to them. Case in point -- I'm working from home today (my throat is a little scratchy) and I'm tuned into a talk that one of my coworkers (and former NASA employee) is giving his analysis on the question "Is space hard?" given the recent failures of various rockets (two of which we had satellites on). Just in time to get us all nervous about the launch scheduled for tomorrow:

Other than that, there are limitations in some cases depending on the role based on compliance and security restrictions -- some things have to be done in the US. We also have offices in Lethbridge, Canada and Berlin, Germany. We want talented people -- if there isn't something about the role that presents a limiting factor, we're certainly open to remote.
