ASRC Federal is the government services subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC), an Alaska Native-owned company with over 14,000 Iñupiat shareholders. The company provides technical and professional services to more than 30 federal defense and civilian agencies, with a workforce exceeding 8,500 employees. Its operating model is structured around delivering mission support across domains including digital operations, software applications, engineering solutions, supply chain management, and infrastructure operations.
For robotics and autonomous systems engineers, the Engineering Solutions division operates within verticals that encompass space, defense and intelligence, and national security. These sectors represent environments where robotic and autonomous systems are deployed under stringent operational constraints - unmanned vehicles for ISR and EOD, satellite servicing robotics, and autonomous logistics platforms are typical problem sets within this customer base. The company's technical scope includes both hardware integration and the software/analytics layers that sit on top of deployed systems.
ASRC Federal's operating culture is guided by Iñupiat values - stewardship, teamwork, integrity, respect, accountability, and continuous improvement. This translates into a mission-first orientation where technical work is framed around long-term service to federal programs rather than product cycles. Engineers working in defense and space programs at ASRC Federal typically interface directly with government program offices, operating under the compliance and security frameworks (including facility clearances) required for classified and controlled-unclassified work.
