Frequently Asked Questions
Ursa Major has physical offices in Berthoud, Colorado; Youngstown, Ohio; and Washington, D.C. As an innovative aerospace manufacturing company, most of our employees work on-site, allowing them to work hands-on with hardware, stay close to testing operations, and directly support manufacturing. Some roles offer hybrid or fully remote arrangements, depending on the position.
