Auria Space to Establish $1.8M East Coast Headquarters in Reston, Creating 78 New Jobs

The Reston headquarters will serve as a hub for mission integration, with a dedicated lab to develop, test, and demonstrate advanced capabilities working closely with government and commercial partners

RESTON, Va., October 29, 2026 — Auria Space, a leading provider of advanced space, missile, and cyber solutions, will invest $1.8 million to establish its East Coast headquarters in Reston, creating 78 new jobs and expanding the company’s presence in Northern Virginia.

Auria is leasing the Reston space, which is expected to be open and operational by mid-2027. Hiring is already underway and will continue as the company builds out the new headquarters, with roles spanning space systems engineering, product development, business development and corporate infrastructure support.

“Northern Virginia is rapidly becoming Auria’s largest employment footprint, making Reston the natural choice to complement our existing Warrenton operations and serve as our East Coast headquarters,” said Damian DiPippa, Chief Executive Officer of Auria. “We are thrilled to be opening a new facility that strengthens our ability to collaborate with nearby customers and partners while providing a world-class mission integration center for our team.”

The Reston headquarters will complement Auria’s existing Warrenton campus, which supports roughly 80 employees and is growing quickly. Work at the Warrenton location includes waveform engineering, hardware development, digital ground stations, factory testing and shipping, and classified operations.

Across the company, Auria employs over 500 people. The company provides national security and space technology supporting space operations, satellite communications, space domain awareness, missile defense and cybersecurity for government, commercial and international customers.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority to secure the project for Virginia. Auria’s workforce expansion will also be supported through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which assists companies with employee recruitment and training.
