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, we are working to ensure synergy, enhance productivity, and accelerate learning, training, and readiness.

Our culture is rooted in our core values, which have evolved over time and our employees have embraced - Integrity, Ingenuity, Excellence, Respect, Inclusion, 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.
