The U.S. Air Force has enjoyed—and earned—a reputation for advancing innovation and pushing the envelope to maintain every technological advantage.
Our scientists and engineers play the central role in maintaining Air Force leadership and superiority in air, space, and cyberspace. They are working on the cutting edge of research and development in advanced Air Force laboratories and dedicated facilities around the country.
At 16,000 strong, our team of STEM professionals is unrivaled in the breadth of their exploration and discovery—discoveries that impact the defense of the nation and the lives of each American. GPS, advanced meteorological equipment, special and exotic materials, and many other systems and innovations play an important role in convenience and safety of our daily lives.
They work with advanced technology and on projects their counterparts in the private sector and academia only dream about—a real professional advantage—in realms as diverse as the environment to nuclear physics, from toxicology to geophysics, from mathematics to applied chemistry.

To ensure compliance with an applicable preliminary nationwide injunction, which may be supplemented, modified, or vacated, depending on the course of ongoing litigation, the Federal Government will take no action to implement or enforce the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to Executive Order 14043 on Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees. Therefore, to the extent a Federal job announcement includes the requirement that applicants must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 pursuant to E.O. 14043, that requirement does not currently apply. Federal agencies may request information regarding the vaccination status of selected applicants for the purposes of implementing other workplace safety protocols, such as protocols related to masking, physical distancing, testing, travel, and quarantine.
