Optimum Technologies will invest $999,000 to expand its Loudoun County satellite manufacturing facility.

The expansion will create 40 new jobs.

Founded in Virginia in 2015, Optimum Technologies is a professional technical services company specializing in aerospace solutions related to satellite, ground and mission systems engineering.

Most staff members hold active Top Secret security clearances, and the company has a diverse portfolio of customers, including Department of Defense, civil and commercial contracts.

The Optimum Technologies team includes space industry experts specializing in full lifecycle support, from initial concept development to final mission disposition.

“OpTech continues to expand due high growth in the space sector,” said Timothy Rumford, the executive vice president of Optimum Technologies. “We have seen great demand for our hardware and services and have outgrown our original SMF that was opened in 2022. Our new facility will give us approximately five times the capacity and help continue our growth plans and, in turn, help support our nation’s needs for rapid and low-cost access to space.”
