Numericans excel at developing state-of-the art algorithms, software, and sensor systems that solve scientific problems with real-world applications. Working in small innovative teams, our scientists and engineers build solutions that make a difference. Our work doesn't end once we've written a journal paper describing our technology; rather, our work is complete when our technology has been deployed in mission-critical systems, our customers are successful, and Americans can rest easy knowing our country's interests are being defended at home and abroad. As science fiction writer Arthur Clarke wrote, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Numerica is seeking talented "magicians" to join in our mission to expand the boundary of what's possible for our customers and the nation.
