We are looking for smart, curious, driven individuals to join us in partnering with our client to help them solve some of the nation’s most challenging problems. ASI Government serves as a trusted adviser to government leaders seeking improved performance, enhanced organization effectiveness, and strategic change.

ASI Government is seeking two senior Requirements Subject Matter Experts to support a high-visibility U.S. Space Force (USSF) mission at the Pentagon focused on weapon-system infrastructure and basing. This is current, mission-critical work: the infrastructure and basing decisions made in this role directly affect how quickly and reliably the Space Force can field, sustain, and operate the systems the warfighter depends on. You will translate complex mission needs, system architectures, and readiness requirements into clear, executable infrastructure requirements — partnering with senior stakeholders across headquarters, program offices, and operational commands. Ideal candidates bring space-domain credibility, systems thinking, and the judgment to turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into traceable, actionable plans.

Required

• Direct USSF , Air Force , Space Force , or National Ssecurity space experience with weapon or defense systems and their associated ground and infrastructure dependencies.
• Expertise in one or more Space Force mission areas: missile warning, tracking, and missile defense; space domain awareness; military and protected satellite communications (SATCOM); GPS/PNT ; space control or electromagnetic warfare; launch and range operations; or satellite command and control and ground segments.
• Ability to translate operational concepts, mission threads, system interfaces, and threat-informed needs into prioritized, traceable requirements.
• Strong executive communication and facilitation skills across headquarters, program, operational, installation, and industry stakeholders.
• Active TS/SCI clearance.

Preferred
