Rothe Development is a 56-year-old precision-services company spanning calibration & metrology, systems engineering, and IT infrastructure. The stack—Linux, Kubernetes, Python, Terraform, Ansible, Prometheus—reflects an organization modernizing toward cloud-native operations, while active projects on ballistic missile defense and ISS programs signal deep government-sector roots. Security hiring (8 roles, mostly senior) outpaces other departments, matching documented pain points around DoD cybersecurity standards and compliance gaps.
Rothe Development delivers calibration, metrology, engineering, and IT services to aerospace, defense, medical, energy, and manufacturing sectors. ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 accredited calibration labs handle mechanical, dimensional, electrical, and environmental equipment with traceability guarantees. Beyond metrology, the company executes systems engineering, custom software, cybersecurity assessments, and multimedia production—often staffing projects with embedded technical specialists or running turnkey builds. With headquarters in Webster, Texas and multiple North American locations, RDI serves both government programs (NASA, DoD) and commercial clients seeking to reduce downtime and maintain regulatory compliance.
Core stack includes Linux, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Terraform, Ansible, Python, Prometheus, and Grafana. Project-management tools are Deltek Cobra and Costpoint. Security scanning uses Nessus and Burp Suite.
Active work includes ballistic missile defense programs, ISS video archival, NBL operations contracts, standards development, and broadcast/scientific imaging system design. Focus spans government defense/aerospace and commercial systems engineering.
