Our Mission

Your success. How, you might ask? … By providing a company culture dedicated to a sensible work/life balance by hiring carefully selected team players with whom you will work; by encouraging each other to produce the best embedded software for safety critical (Avionics & Medical Instruments) systems in the country; by having “raving fans” (customers who come back to us regularly because we get it done right and on time).

We’re a medium-sized company that’s growing rapidly, but which maintains that small company feel. At Performance, you’re not just a name & face or locked onto a fixed team maintaining legacy systems; instead, you’ll be working on a wide variety of projects using the full gamut of advanced software development technologies.

We provide what great talent wants and deserves!
