Overview
Rocket EMS builds circuit board assemblies for technology companies that need to turn product designs into manufactured electronics. Its work spans prototypes and repeat production, with engineering support for customers developing or refining their own products. Customers buy contract manufacturing and related design services, while Rocket sources components and assembles boards into finished systems, including chassis, racks, and plastic enclosures. It also supplies standalone product engineering, from commercial design and documentation to preparation for factory production. Rocket EMS was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
