About ASRC Federal in Huntsville, AL
ASRC Federal is a family of government services companies headquartered in Reston, Virginia, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, an Alaska Native corporation. The company says it established its Huntsville presence in 2009 and now employs more than 300 people across the Tennessee Valley; it is listed as a tenant of Cummings Research Park. Its Huntsville page describes engineering, 3D modelling and additive manufacturing work for the Army in Huntsville, including a redesign of the handgrip for the FGM-148 Javelin Command Launch Unit and a prototype Apache main rotor blade fold kit. The same page describes more than ten years of support for the Missile Defense Agency, including the Missile Defense Data Center. Its Huntsville hiring page says its teams support the Army Contracting Command's Chief Information Officer at Redstone Arsenal and the Ground-based Midcourse Defense weapon system. In December 2024 ASRC Federal said Kratos had selected it to help build and operate the Space Development Agency's Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure, providing operational staffing and sustainment for the Demonstration Operations Center, with the work performed in Huntsville. In 2021 its subsidiary Arctic Slope Technical Services signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to analyse Space Launch System engine and vehicle data.
Culture & Work Environment
ASRC Federal says it is inspired by Iñupiat culture and lists six values: stewardship, teamwork, integrity, respect, accountability and continuous improvement. Its careers site describes the company as an employee-certified Great Place to Work. In Huntsville, the company describes "purpose driven software, engineering, and AI/ML teams" and lists community involvement with the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce, the AUSA Redstone Chapter, National Space Club Huntsville, the INCOSE Huntsville Regional Chapter and the Rocket City Trash Pandas, among others. Much of the Huntsville work supports Army and missile defense customers, so ask your interviewers about the specific contract, work location and schedule.
Hiring Process & Timeline
ASRC Federal lists its openings on its careers site, which links to its Dayforce candidate portal, and its Huntsville hiring page also offers a form to contact a recruiter. Because ASRC Federal is made up of several operating companies, a posting or contract may carry a subsidiary's name, such as ASRC Federal Systems Solutions on the AFCGI team, rather than ASRC Federal itself. Ask the recruiter which interview stages the role involves and how long each step usually takes.
Interview Tips
Find out which customer and program the role supports and read up on it. The company's Huntsville roles include AI, DevSecOps, electrical, software and systems engineering, so be ready to discuss specific tools, languages and methods you have used, and how you worked within a government program's processes. For missile defense software roles, examples of testing, integration and maintaining long-lived systems are relevant; for Army engineering roles, talk through design, modelling or prototyping work you have done. ASRC Federal lists stewardship, teamwork and accountability among its values, so concrete examples of using resources carefully and working across teams fit well. Mention any current clearance early, and ask about the work site and how the team works with the government customer.
Security Clearance Requirements
ASRC Federal's Huntsville hiring page says an active Secret clearance is required for all the roles it advertises there, and many listings for Army and missile defense work ask for Secret or higher. Requirements still vary by contract, and each listing states its own. Cleared positions generally require U.S. citizenship. If a listing asks for a clearance you do not hold, ask the recruiter whether the program can sponsor one. For how investigations work and what each level means, see the clearances guide on this site.
Compensation & Salary
For current pay, use the posted ranges in ASRC Federal's Huntsville listings on this site. The company's benefits page lists a 401(k) with an employer match that vests immediately, educational reimbursement for full-time employees after 90 days, paid time off, paid parental leave, nine core holidays plus two floating holidays, and medical, dental and vision plans.
