Overview
 
 The Aerospace Corporation is a private, nonprofit corporation created in 1960 under the laws of the state of California, with offices in California, Denver, Florida, Maryland, New Mexico, Texas and Virginia. The purposes of the corporation are exclusively scientific: to provide research, development, and advisory services. Aerospace operates a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) for the Department of Defense (DOD). The corporation's primary customer is the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) of Air Force Space Command, although work is performed for other agencies, international organizations, and governments in the national interest. From its inception, Aerospace has focused on the government's need to develop the best space-related hardware &software at the lowest prudent cost. Its involvement reduces the risk of launch failure and increases on-orbit satellite endurance. Participation in each program phase--from requirements definition to launch and eventual on-orbit operation--ensures mission success at reasonable cost. Technical risk management prevents ruinous, expensive, system failures. Avoiding a single catastrophic launch failure and the consequent loss of much-needed operational capabilities can save more than three times the total annual Aerospace FFRDC budget. Our vision is to be the world's leader in the application of space technology. Our mission is to apply our technical knowledge and expertise to enable our customers to successfully exploit the full potential of space and space technology. Our values are simple: integrity, technical excellence, objectivity, dedication to mission success, and commitment to our people.
Selected applicants may be subject to a security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Aerospace is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
