The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation’s space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space— delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.
The Enterprise Effects Division (EED) drives integration of Aerospace’s strategic capabilities across the national space enterprise. The division leverages a broad array of engineering disciplines against a wide-ranging and dynamic portfolio of programs, customers, and national challenges. EED spans the capability lifecycle from concept and architecture design to performance assessment to application of space and space-enabled capabilities.
The Architecture Concepts Department (ArCon) provides expertise in architecture methods, processes, and tools to an extremely broad range of customers, including National Space Security (NSS) and other defense programs, NASA, NOAA, NNSA, DHS, and others. ArCon staff participate in and lead architecture trade studies, architecture conceptualization studies, architecture modeling tasks, and program assessment analyses at multiple levels of complexity, ranging from prototype systems to full scale acquisition systems in the space, ground, communications, and network domains. ArCon applies disciplined system architecting principles and leads cross-functional teams to provide impactful guidance to assist our customers in making key acquisition and operations decisions.
Work Model: This is a part-time position (20 hours/week) performed fully remote. Occasional on-site presence may be required to support in-person Concurrent Design Center (CDC) sessions, as needed.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead space architecture trade studies and conceptualization efforts of medium to high complexity, assembling and leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams to address problem framing, gap analysis, and trade space assessment
- Serve as a critical node and spokesperson for communicating technical needs and deliverables to project team members, program office, and customers; identify and facilitate access to subject matter expertise across the corporation
- Evaluate, select, and apply system architecting methods, processes, and tools in a broad range of space architecture-level assessment, modeling, analysis, and conceptual design activities
- Use, develop, and integrate analytical methods and tools to evaluate space architectural concepts and system conceptual designs for cost, schedule, performance, risk, resilience to disruptive events or threats, and other characteristics
- Work with Aerospace program office, customer, and contractor personnel to elicit and identify needs, requirements, and constraints for studies; scope, plan, and execute studies; and effectively communicate task status, methods, results, and recommendations in briefings and formal technical reports
- Manage project plans, resources, budgets, risks, and constraints to deliver impactful and timely products within a part-time schedule, prioritizing and sequencing work to meet study milestones
- Collaborate with other Aerospace personnel to marshal technical expertise in multiple technical disciplines and domains to enable concurrent engineering approaches to address complex space architecture problems
What You Need to be Successful
Minimum Requirements for Project Lead:
- Bachelor of Science degree in engineering, science, or related technical field
- At least 8 years of professional experience in engineering, may be satisfied by combinations of MS Degree, PhD, and/or professional experience
- Experience in space system or enterprise architecting, systems engineering, concept design, and/or model-based systems engineering
- Experience organizing and leading cross-functional, cross-organizational teams to execute projects or studies, including as Project Lead or Systems Lead on a study team
- Excellent oral and written communication skills, including the ability to present methods and results effectively in briefings, formal reports, and informal communications
- Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively with teams, customers, Aerospace program offices, and contractors, and to collaborate with other functional organizations within Aerospace
- Demonstrated ability to manage time and deliverables independently in a part-time, remote work arrangement, including proactive communication with team members and customers across differing schedules

Tips for Your Remote Associate Project Architect Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote associate project architect openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly without sorting through general job boards. Early applicants often move faster through screening.
Show async collaboration in your portfolio
Remote architecture employers want evidence you can coordinate without daily in-person contact. Include project documentation, redline sets, or consultant coordination sheets that show you managed deliverables independently. Label each project with your specific role and what you owned.
Get fluent in cloud-based design tools
Remote associate project architect roles rely heavily on Revit with BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam for markup and review, and shared project management platforms. Demonstrating comfort with these in your resume and interview tells remote employers you won't need a ramp-up period.
Prep for the remote interview format itself
Remote hiring processes often include a take-home design or documentation exercise before the final interview. Practice walking through your portfolio via screen share, articulating design decisions clearly without pointing at a physical drawing, and describing how you'd handle a coordination issue with a distant consultant.
Remote Associate Project Architect Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote associate project architect job?
Target remote-first architecture firms, distributed design studios, and tech-forward commercial practices, since those employers are most likely to have established workflows for remote project delivery. Remote hiring managers screen for self-directed project management, strong written communication for async coordination, and proficiency in cloud-based design tools like Revit, BIM 360, and Bluebeam. Candidates who can demonstrate they've owned deliverables independently, coordinated with consultants across time zones, or contributed meaningfully to a project without daily in-person oversight stand out.
Which companies hire remote associate project architects?
Remote associate project architect roles are posted by Harley Ellis Devereaux, MACKENZIE, and Scale and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first firms, distributed multidisciplinary practices, and organizations in sectors like healthcare, commercial real estate, and civic design that have built the infrastructure to support distributed project teams.
Can you get a remote associate project architect job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level associate project architect roles are harder to land because you're expected to work independently before you've built the habits that come from in-office mentorship. Your best path is through remote-first boutique firms or design-build companies that hire junior staff and have documented processes for onboarding remote contributors. A strong portfolio showing project documentation, construction drawings, or design development work, even from academic or internship projects, signals you can contribute without constant supervision.
Do you need a degree for remote associate project architect jobs?
Usually, yes, since most associate project architect roles expect at minimum a professional architecture degree or significant progress toward licensure, and remote employers apply the same standard. That said, what remote hiring managers weigh alongside credentials is real demonstrated output: construction document packages, project coordination across consultants, proficiency in Revit or similar platforms, and evidence you can manage your own workload. Candidates with an ARE progress record and a solid portfolio can compete effectively even before full licensure.
