Colorado Engineering is a Woman Owned Small Business located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We were founded in 2003, with the strategic vision and goal of becoming a significant software and hardware design engineering company known for delivering on-time, high value, adaptable, quality solutions, products, and services with exceptional support to our government and prime contractor customer base.
Colorado Engineering is now an Extension and more importantly an Expansion of Catalina Research, Inc (CRI). A prior company founded by the CEI management team, CRI was a highly successful COTS, system, subsystem, hardware, and software Digital Signal Processing business founded in 1990 which grew over a ten year period through many successful DoD and government agency design wins; CRI was founded in 1990 and sold in 2000 to Paravant/DRS Technologies. CEI is evolving the original CRI core competencies, especially within the areas of software design engineering and development.
