About Square One
Nestled in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Square One maintains state-of-the-art laboratory
and manufacturing facilities staffed by engineers, physicists, and skilled technicians.
Our vision is to assemble the best minds in the business in an idyllic location, equip them with the latest design tools, and then
turn them loose on the most challenging automation projects. We believe our unconventional settings fosters
original thinking and we know our collaborators always
enjoy their visits.
Square One recieved the 2006 National Tibbetts Award in recognition of the consistent excellence
of our SBIR-sponsored research, the success of our commercialization efforts and the positive economic impact
our company has had on our region.

Community Outreach
The spirit of cooperation is at the heart of Square One's business model. Our engineers work with local schools to introduce students to robotics, act as coaches for the Lego Robotics Challenge, host high school and undergraduate interns, and present graduate-level seminars at universities. By helping to demystify the world of scientific research, Square One strives to be a positive (albeit somewhat non-traditional) corporate addition to our rural, Rocky Mountain community.
