How to Apply

Start your career with ESC today.

The application process for federal employment can be more arduous than applying for work in the private sector. Don’t let that discourage you from starting a career with an imperative mission, supportive coworkers and leading edge technologies at ESC. We’ve put together a step-by-step overview of what you can expect in this process.

A Couple of Things to Keep in Mind:

  • The Featured Positions page lists opportunities available at ESC because of immediate and high demand for certain types of professionals. Pay particular attention to the requirements you must have to be considered qualified. If you are a qualified candidate for one of the positions listed, please visit the Featured Positions page to view all the opportunities available and to apply directly to ESC for immediate consideration.
  • The ESC positions listed on the Experienced Professionals page are listed on USAJobs as Air Force Materiel Command, rather than Air Force Electronic Systems Center. ESC is a part of AFMC; do not be alarmed when you see their name on the job description. The links provided on our careers page will take you directly to positions available with ESC. Please apply through the links provided on USAjobs.
