After one season, Rossi was appointed as assistant to Merri Howard, a position he held for three years. He then went on to become assistant to Rick Berman. After the end of The Next Generation, Berman created the position of Supervisor of Star Trek Projects for Rossi, where he worked on attractions, product licensing, and helped oversee Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. With the creation of Star Trek: Enterprise, Rossi was promoted to Associate Producer on the series, and was responsible for second unit work in addition to his established duties.

More recently, Rossi worked with Denise and Michael Okuda as a visual effects producer on the remastered Original Series, as well as developing a concept for a new animated Trek series along with Doug Mirabello and José Muñoz.
