More great news for Brevard County, Florida! According to a recent Florida Today article, 100 new jobs are coming to the Space Coast!
A five-year, $138 million NASA contract was just announced for a.i. solutions, inc., a space-industry company that is headquartered in Lanham, MD, and currently employs over 200 engineering, science, and IT professionals. The new contract will create about 100 new high-paying engineering positions at Kennedy Space Center in the areas of preparation and launch for NASA’s next generation of spacecraft. The contract is called “Expendable Launch Vehicle Integrated Support 2″, and will be based at Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, Florida, but will also include operations at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, as well as other launch sites.
Hiring for the new jobs will start on February 1, 2012 with a job fair in Cape Canaveral.
