Company’s Footprint Continues to Increase in Region, 1,894% Revenue Growth Since 2005
Camarillo, CA and Ridgecrest, CA (January 31, 2023) – Saalex Corporation today announced it has a number of openings it is looking to fill, as the company continues to experience strong growth. The Camarillo-based company has 14 openings in the Ridgecrest/China Lake area, for jobs that include engineering positions, system administrators, security analysts, and program managers, among others. The openings have compensation ranges that go as high as $170K for some positions.
Saalex has experienced tremendous growth since the company opened its office in Ridgecrest in 2005, going from 15 employees the first year to 360 presently in the region. Its revenue in its Ridgecrest facility has grown a staggering 1,894% since 2005.
“We are extremely proud of our impact on the Ridgecrest/China Lake area, as we feel it is a wonderful example of how a small business can thrive with hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to the local community,” said Travis Mack, CEO and Chairman of Saalex Corporation. “We were once a small startup and were fortunate to receive assistance from some larger organizations in the area. As we have grown into a prime contractor, we have paid that forward and frequently pull local small businesses into our contracts, which we think helps not only Saalex, but the community as a whole. And we are particularly proud of the women-owned small businesses that we have assisted.”
“Saalex has seen tremendous success in the region since we were founded, and we are eager to continue that growth by adding more talented individuals to our team,” said Robert Bezduch, President, Saalex Corporation. “We have a strong history of investing in the local area and our team members have played a big role in that success.

Camarillo, CA and Rockledge, FL (November 16, 2022) – Saalex Corporation’s Expendable Launch Vehicle Integrated Support 3 (ELVIS 3) team is supporting the launch of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, which is currently scheduled for next month from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The mission is designed to help mankind gain a better understanding of how climate change is impacting oceans, lakes and rivers.
Once in orbit, SWOT will survey nearly all of Earth’s water bodies. By collecting data from the ocean, SWOT will aid scientists in their investigation of the processes by which seawater absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, which has a significant impact on global temperatures and climate change.
Seeing Earth’s water in unprecedented detail can help coastal communities plan for and adapt to rising seas and shifting coasts due to climate change, as well as improve water equity and water management decisions. It will also provide a better understanding of the interaction between sea surface height and a warming climate and its effects on phenomena like storm surges.
“We are extremely proud to be assisting on a mission that is designed to help us better understand the impact of global warming,” said Robert Bezduch, President of Saalex. “It is very rewarding for our ELVIS 3 team to know their work is having a direct impact on the lives of literally everyone in the world. We are honored and humbled to support such an important project.”
SWOT is a joint project of NASA and the French space agency Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), with support from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the United Kingdom Space Agency. The launch service is managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP), which is situated at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida.
The ELVIS 3 team from Saalex is providing engineering, programmatic, and technical support for the launch of the SWOT spacecraft.
