Employment Opportunities at ITS: The Nation's Spectrum and Communications Lab

We are a small but impactful federal research lab located on the Department of Commerce Boulder Laboratories campus in south Boulder, Colorado. We recruit electronics engineers, computer engineers, and computer science majors to work on critical telecommunications issues such as spectrum sharing, spectrum efficiency, and next-generation communications. Researchers enjoy all the benefits of federal employment while working in a hands-on, cutting edge, and entrepreneurial research and development environment. Some of the other attractions of working at ITS include the wide range of professional growth opportunities, beautiful natural setting at the base of the Boulder Flatirons, and stimulating work of national importance.
