ARES Corporation is a 100% employee-owned engineering and professional services firm founded in 1992 and based in the United States. The company provides engineering, mission assurance, and risk management services to U.S. aerospace and defense agencies, with NASA and the Department of Defense among its primary clients. It also serves commercial partners in sectors including nuclear and clean technology.
The firm's core work spans complex technical challenges across four main areas: space, defense, nuclear, and clean technology. A distinctive feature of its approach is the integration of quantitative risk management methodologies into every project - a practice the company describes as industry-leading. These capabilities are applied to protecting critical infrastructure and supporting human space exploration programmes.
As an employee-owned organization, every team member holds a direct stake in the business. ARES Corporation has operated for over three decades, building its practice around engineers, scientists, and technical professionals focused on mission-critical outcomes for government and commercial partners alike.
