Job description

We’re scientists. We’re engineers. We’re gadget lovers, cool-thing inventors. We’re a bunch of people so into space and technology that we eat, sleep, and drink ways we can solve problems for other scientists. (Not gonna lie. We also drink coffee…a lot of it!) Don’t ask us to do things the way others might; that’s not our style. We’re a little disruptive, a little defiant, a little “don’t tell us we can’t do that!”

So, now that you know how incredible we are, here’s the rather basic “all you need to know” description:

Roccor was founded in 2011 and is based in Longmont, Colorado. We’re a fast-growing, vibrant, high technology aerospace supplier in the aerospace, thermal management, and combat care industries. Our novel designs address cost and performance limitations to revolutionize spaceflight and military operations. We have contracts with NASA, the U.S. military, and commercial space companies all around the world and have already delivered five spaceflight deployable systems for use on U.S. government orbital programs.

Like we said, pretty cool!
