Teams at The Aerospace Corporation
The Engineering and Technology Group (ETG) is a nationally recognized space systems and technology resource. Containing approximately half of The Aerospace Corporation’s technical talent, ETG consists of seven specialty organizations equipped with state-of-the-art computing, testing, diagnostic, research, simulation, and laboratory facilities as well as unique databases that have evolved since the beginning of the space era.


The Mission Payloads Division (MPD) drives innovation in space electronics and payloads, delivering integrated solutions that enhance mission resilience and performance. By addressing the demands of contested environments, proliferated constellations, and diverse customer needs, MPD ensures the seamless integration of commercial and government systems. Leveraging expertise in radar, optical communications, PNT, and mission data processing, along with emerging AI/ML applications, the division develops actionable solutions tailored to cost, schedule, and risk constraints.

Physical Sciences Laboratories (PSL) supports the effective and timely development and operation of national security systems through scientific research and the application of advanced technologies. PSL has more than 150 specialized laboratories used to test, analyze, and troubleshoot virtually every aspect of rocket and satellite system design, development, construction, deployment, and operation. The diverse expertise of the laboratories’ technical staff allows PSL to stay abreast of new technological developments and program support issues associated with rapidly evolving space systems.

The Systems Engineering Division (SED) is the corporate focal point for system-level modeling and analysis of the design, performance, and programmatic feasibility of national space systems. SED provides unmatched experience in systems engineering to the U.S. government and to numerous public and private agencies, universities, nonprofit organizations, consortia, and commercial companies involved in the advanced application of space technology. SED exploits an incredibly broad array of engineering and business disciplines against a diverse and dynamic portfolio of programs and national challenges.

The Vehicle Systems Division (VSD) provides engineering solutions to the nation’s vehicle system challenges when and where they are needed. VSD’s work spans innovative research and development; technical evaluations during the acquisition process; conceptual and detailed design; assembly, integration, and testing; and operational support to launch and space vehicles. Composed primarily of highly trained mechanical and aerospace engineers, VSD provides national expertise in a broad array of fields.

The Enterprise Effects Division (EED) focuses on bridging gaps across customers, platforms, and domains to deliver integrated solutions that optimize mission outcomes. Leveraging enterprise design, integrated performance, and mission operations expertise, it develops architectures, enhances resiliency across all space capabilities including PNT, Mission Warning, Tracking and Defense, Comm, Weather, Space Domain Awareness, ISR and Space Control. Acting as a hub for cross-agency challenges, the division employs agile project management and collaboration with government, industry, and FFRDC partners to drive mission success and foster holistic solutions across all domains.

The Digital Innovation Division (DID) is leading Aerospace’s digital transformation. This transformation reflects a corporate-wide foundational effort aimed at supporting both internal and external objectives. Internally, DID seeks to (1) forge stronger, enduring connections between all stakeholders across the space enterprise, (2) significantly enhance our workforce’s ability to manage complexity, and (3) enable more rapid, data-driven decision-making at every level.

The Aerospace Corporation is built on three core principles: a matrixed engineering structure, colocation with our customer to support programmatic and technical needs, and a parallel hierarchy with our government counterparts. Aerospace is seeking the next generation of program leaders to work closely with our customers and cross-functional teams to maximize our resources and expertise within our customer-facing groups.
