He has held a joint appointment with the Institute for Systems Research since its establishment in 1985, and was its Associate Director for Research during 1995--1996. He is also a co--founder of and active participant in the Center for Satellite and Hybrid Communication Networks, a NASA center for the development and commercialization of space.

He has held visiting positions at the Technion (Israel), INRIA (France), IBM T.J. Watson Research Center (Hawthorne), AT&T Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill), AT&T Research Labs (Florham Park), the Institut Mittag-Leffler(The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences), and the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM).

Armand Makowski was a C.R.B. Graduate Fellow of the Belgian-American Educational Foundation for the academic year 1975-76; he is also a 1984 recipient of the NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award. He became an IEEE Fellow in 2006.
