Tucson-based Raytheon Missile Systems has opened a new facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in a previously announced expansion that will add 60 high-tech manufacturing jobs over the next six years.
The new, 72,000-square-foot building in the Sandia Science and Technology Park, Raytheonβs third facility in the area, will expand operations to develop and make range-monitoring and telemetry systems for the U.S. and its allies, Raytheon said.
Raytheon launched the operation in Albuquerque in 2011 when it acquired directed-energy systems provider Ktech Corp. The site supports the production of high-powered microwave technology and aircraft range-monitoring systems.
The company employs more than 350 workers in science, engineering, advanced manufacturing and management jobs at its facilities in Albuquerque and at its DinΓ© site, on the Navajo Nation.
