AFELM US Space Command
7 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
“AFELM US Space Command” is the USAJOBS label for Department of the Air Force civilian positions assigned to U.S. Space Command, the unified combatant command responsible for military operations in space. Combatant commands are joint organizations, so the civilians who work in them are carried by a military department, the Air Force Elements in this case, even though they serve the joint command. The work is operational analysis, planning and data: tracking objects in orbit, integrating missions across services, and analyzing weapon systems and space operations.
Recent listings have included program analysts, an orbital analyst, a data scientist and a senior data scientist, a mission integration specialist and a weapon systems operations analyst.
Applying tip: most of these positions require a Top Secret clearance, often with SCI access, and the duty location is the command’s headquarters or a component site, so check both before applying. Analyst announcements rate experience with orbital mechanics, space domain awareness or mission data, so be specific about the systems and datasets you have worked with. The security clearance guide explains how clearances affect remote work.
