Job Description

Are you inspired by the idea of supporting our nation’s critical infrastructure and securing communications for first responders, utilities, and transportation?

Are you interested in being part of a fast-paced, growing company with opportunities to expand your knowledge base across a wide range of mission critical technologies?

Company Overview

RACOM was established in 1972 and designs, sells, installs, and maintains all of the technologies used in the “second half of the 911 response equation” — from the time an emergency dispatcher answers a 911 call to the time police, fire and ambulances arrive on scene, supporting specialized phone systems, pagers, radios, and voice recorders to warning lights and sirens.

RACOM has earned its exceptional reputation for delivering the highest quality products and services over its 40+ year history. In February 2023, Eastern Communications acquired RACOM corporation, and now comprises 250 employees across 17 locations nationwide.
