About Us

CEO Roberta Massiah couldn’t find the kind of company she wanted to work for, so in 2005 she founded Aurora. Her vision was to create a workplace of thinkers and doers, dreamers and leaders. Experts encouraged and empowered to deliver a higher standard of excellence.

Since our founding, each year we’ve expanded in size and, equally important, reputation. We consistently add measurable value to every project by developing innovative, breakthrough solutions. All to assure our clients succeed in ways they never imagined.

Today, we’re an ever-evolving company and changed our name to reflect this: Aurora Innovations. We’re an SBA-Certified, woman-owned small business and a recognized leader in Systems Engineering and Program Management. Aurora is an eFAST MOA Holder (ES, R&D and CSD task areas) and an FAA ATEPS SBSA prime. We’re also on the FAA ATEPS, ETASS, EPICS, and SE2025 SIR 1 & 2 contract vehicles; as well as the Volpe Center’s TMSEDS F&O contract.

Services

Our diverse team members offer critical guidance and meaningful answers to the most complex challenges. We know what works, what doesn’t and why.
