NASA, OPM Launch NASA Force to Recruit Top Talent for US Space Program

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and NASA on Wednesday announced NASA Force, a dedicated talent pipeline within the U.S. Tech Force initiative designed to recruit and deploy the nation’s best engineers and technologists to support the U.S. space program.

The NASA Force will identify and place high-impact technical talent in critical roles to support NASA’s exploration, research and advanced technology priorities, ensuring the agency has the cutting-edge expertise needed to maintain U.S. leadership in space.

Tech Force, led by OPM, was created to recruit elite technical professionals into the federal service, integrate them into partner agencies to modernize systems, accelerate innovation and strengthen mission execution. NASA Force represents a focused expansion of this effort, tailored to the unique technical requirements of space exploration and aerospace research.

“America’s leadership in space depends on extraordinary talent,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “The NASA Force will help us attract the next generation of innovators and technical experts ready to tackle the toughest challenges in aerospace exploration, science and technology. This partnership strengthens our workforce and helps ensure the United States remains the world leader in space.”

“NASA represents the pinnacle of American innovation,” said OPM Director Scott Kupor. “Through NASA Force, we are ensuring that the world’s premier space agency has access to the nation’s best engineers and technologists. If you want to work on the most important technical challenges anywhere in the world, this is your call to serve.”

The launch of NASA Force builds on the growing momentum of the US Tech Force initiative, which has generated strong interest from early- and mid-career technologists eager to apply their skills to public service.

Applications will be available soon and interested individuals are encouraged to follow @USTechForce on X for updates.
