Who We Are
For more than 25 years, Aptima's mission has been to improve and optimize performance in mission-critical, technology-intensive environments. We apply deep expertise in how humans think, learn, and perform to today's challenges. Whether for fighter pilots functioning in the cockpit, medical staff in the ICU, or teams collaborating across distributed networks, our solutions:
- Ensure synergy between humans, the technologies they use, and the organizations within which they operate
- Enhance productivity through human-AI teaming, unobtrusive measurement, data analytics, and intelligent interfaces
- Accelerate learning, training, and readiness with precision learning that is customized, personalized, and efficient
What Makes Us Unique
Our culture is rooted on three principles that our founders planted, and our employees have embraced ever since—innovation, impact, and empathy . At our core, Aptima researches, develops, and innovates within an area that engineering firms largely ignore, the Human component. In order to impact the world in meaningful ways, you must bring those innovations to light, and that is precisely what we do.
Entrepreneurial and creative energy run through our veins. When our team chooses to continue their education or professionally publish their work, we cheer them on. Teamwork, collaboration, and a relentless focus on our customers are central tenants of our culture. Work hard. Take care of each other. Lead by example. Accept others for who they are.
How You’ll Make an Impact
You will help develop tools for assessing and augmenting human performance for the US Air Force (USAF).

As part of the TLR Division, you will work on bleeding edge software deployment strategies using Docker, Kubernetes, AWS and other cloud enabled technologies. Our software is being used to support training, tracking, and reporting systems provided to Airmen, giving them the ability to access training anywhere at any time. You will design and develop adaptive training systems and supporting data infrastructure to assess learner proficiency in real time and generate personalized, adaptive training content available on a variety of end user devices (e.g., tablets, VR headsets) and high-fidelity simulators. This is a fast-paced collaborative team working on the latest technologies and pioneering new advances in the DoD.
