Sierra Space plans to add 1,000 jobs in the coming year

LOUISVILLE — Sierra Space Corp., the Louisville-based spinoff of Sierra Nevada Corp. that’s building a cutting edge spaceplane and low-orbit space station, is planning to add 1,000 jobs over the coming year, many of which will be based in Colorado.

In addition to its Louisville headquarters, SSC will staff up operations in the Denver suburbs; Madison, Wisconsin; Brevard County, Florida; and Durham, North Carolina.

The company employs about 1,100 people, so the new hires will nearly double its workforce.

SSC is hiring for a variety of roles, but more than half of the new hires will be in engineering positions.
