About REDCOM Laboratories, Inc.:
REDCOM Laboratories, Inc. is a private woman-owned small business based in Victor, New York. Since 1978, REDCOM has been developing and manufacturing the world’s most reliable communications systems for all branches of the U.S. military, our NATO allies, government agencies, emergency responders, service providers, and enterprises.
REDCOM was awarded a Top Workplaces award in 2020 by The Democrat and Chronicle. This dedication is based solely on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous survey that uniquely measured 15 drivers of engaged cultures. These drivers are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few. As a first-time participant in the program, REDCOM surpassed hundreds of other companies for the top distinction.
At REDCOM, our mission is to provide the most secure communications solutions in the world. Our trusted and proven products are designed and backed by our relentless drive for quality, innovation, and world-class support.
REDCOM allocates substantial resources to research and development. In fact, the name REDCOM is an acronym that stands for REsearch and Development in COMmunications.
Our principal office is located in our 140,000 sq. ft. headquarters in the town of Victor, a suburb of Rochester, New York. This state-of-the-art campus is home to a large engineering and development team, along with our customer service, sales, manufacturing, and leadership teams.
REDCOM designs, engineers, and manufactures all of our products right here in the United States. We work only with vetted and trusted suppliers to ensure that we source the best and most reliable components for every product. REDCOM has proactively addressed every step of the supply chain to reduce risk, making our products TAA compliant.
What really makes REDCOM stand out from most other companies is our family-oriented culture. We encourage our employees to innovate and empower them to work autonomously. This enables REDCOM to not just respond to customer requirements but to generate truly innovative solutions. We understand and anticipate user needs and develop solutions to meet them. We love solving problems that other companies can’t — or won’t — tackle.
The wage range for this role considers the range of qualifications that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; education and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. It is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role, and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each position.
