Our Company

Unrivaled Research, Unlimited Opportunities

Welcome to HRL Laboratories, LLC, one of the most innovative industrial research organizations in the world. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the hills above Malibu, California, our incredible surroundings are matched by our unrivaled capabilities and unwavering commitment to the world’s leading research and development in sensors and materials, information and systems sciences, applied electromagnetics, and microelectronics.

As a limited liability company (LLC), HRL has evolved from the central research laboratory of the Hughes Aircraft Company into a multi-owner, world-class, research-and-development organization. Today the men and women of HRL focus on developing new technologies in collaboration with our LLC member companies—The Boeing Company and General Motors—as well as universities, government agencies, and commercial entities.

HRL has been a national resource for innovation since 1948; perhaps our most well-known accomplishment was demonstration of the first laser technology in 1960. Today our technical staff remains on the leading edge of technology development through groundbreaking research. We are proud of their accomplishments and our ever expanding portfolio of patents as we continue to push the forefronts of technological advancement for our LLC member companies, our customers, and the nation.

We welcome you to browse through our web site, which highlights the four technical laboratories that make up HRL, along with information on the recent achievements and pioneering work of our staff. We continue to recruit and develop the leading scientists at all levels of their careers. See our Careers section for information about employment opportunities with HRL.
