Peerless Technologies Corp., an Ohio defense and tech company that quietly came to Albuquerque earlier this year, is wrapping up a local expansion that brought around two dozen jobs and hopes for more in the future.

The hiring push came as a result of two Air Force contract wins, according to Senior Vice President Julie Clark. One of those deals is an $18.5 million contract for engineering and technical services to support the integration of the B61-12 nuclear bomb, according to the Dayton Business Journal, our sister company. That project is slated for completion in 2024.

Peerless has hired around 25 people to support the work — which Clark said is being performed at the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Kirtland Air Force Base — and a couple open positions remain. The positions already hired for include engineers, software developers, test and evaluation professionals, scientists and others.

Yes, I heard about this from some guys I know in ABQ.

This company's moving into an abandoned underground industrial facility that has, of all things, an industrial linen and uniform laundry on top of it that employs illegals from Honduras.

Fingers firmly crossed that Peerless Technologies Corp. is NOT a WMDVBE firm.
