It's still mostly defense/space contracting, but it is slowly diversifying.
There's a pretty good telecom sector. Digium, the sponsor of Asterisk, was headquartered here before Sangoma bought them earlier this year and I understand Sangoma is keeping the Huntsville operation. Adtran is also here. Bioengineering is also an up-and-coming thing with HudsonAlpha.
There's a small but growing startup scene and a few established tech companies (I work for one of them [0]). Tech256 [1] is where most of the local tech workers hang out.
Outside of engineering work, there was been a lot of growth in manufacturing. Polaris, Remington, Toyota, Mazda soon, Blue Origin soon, etc. Seems like every other week a new factory is being announced.
