Who We Are

Aptima is a technological leader in the national security industry. Our mission is to drive the future of national security by engineering scalable solutions that fuse technological innovation with human potential to transform how individuals and teams train, develop, and perform in mission-critical environments.

Our culture is rooted in our core values, which have evolved over time and our employees have embraced: Integrity, Ingenuity, Excellence, Respect, Engagement, Teamwork . At our core, Aptima researches, develops, and innovates within an area that engineering firms largely ignore, the human component. To impact the world in meaningful ways, you must bring those innovations to light, and that is precisely what we do.

Aptima has exciting and critical growth goals so it will be important to build relationships across the organization to establish goals and timelines, execute against a hiring plan, implement creative hiring strategies, and create a positive experience for candidates and new employees.

Since we move quickly and span across many areas, it’s crucial that all team members have top-notch written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills. We juggle multiple priorities and tasks can change quickly, so being a creative problem-solver that can stay incredibly organized while being able to autonomously manage their time and priorities is a must.
