About us:
Alicat Scientific has been manufacturing and servicing high-quality mass flow and pressure devices since 1991, growing every year for the past 25 years. Each instrument is a custom-made building block that might be employed in support of space rockets, hydrogen fuel cells, medical oxygen delivery systems, environmental monitoring stations… or anywhere precision gas instruments can advance science and industry. We are headquartered in Tucson, AZ, with satellite locations in Europe, India and China.
Creativity and speed are the core of our organization. We pride ourselves on our instrument’s speed of response, our speed of product development, and our speed of customer support. Alicat recruits only the most motivated and inventive persons to help build our tailor-made, versatile technology.

The Operations department is a faced-paced environment that manufactures hundreds of combinations of products every day.
