At Kennedy Space Center (KSC), a flexible, mission-focused workforce is key to our success. KSC serves as NASA’s Center of Excellence for both launch and payload processing systems.

Today, NASA is on the edge of a bold new challenge: deep space exploration. NASA is creating an exciting future where it will develop capabilities for the next generation to explore space, expand commercial access to space for crew and cargo, and develop many more missions to explore our home planet, the solar system and the universe beyond. We want you to be a part of this great legacy, by joining our team!
