Are you ready to step up your impact?

Do you have experience building and funding a technical team with expertise in an area complementary to our own that would help us advance our vision of making the world a safer, healthier, and better-informed place? Cyber-security, autonomous systems, bioinformatics, medical robotics, and material and chemical informatics are just some of the areas we have an interest in, particularly if your experience lies in applying state-of-the-art AI techniques to these problems. Our Technical Leaders build and sustain world-class research groups by procuring funding from federal agencies and corporations of all sizes, developing talented researchers and engineers, and consistently delivering innovative solutions that exceed expectations. Very few have the talent, ambition and skillset to succeed in the highly competitive R&D services market – are you one of them?

Why Kitware?

Our team of broadly experienced, skilled software engineers and world-class researchers focus on high-impact research and applying it to real-world problems. We seek out innovators at all levels of the company. We pride ourselves on an intimate understanding of our customers’ needs and requirements, and our ability to satisfy them. Our seasoned support staff advances this mission with deep expertise in government and commercial contracting, compliance, human subjects research, classified operations, proposal writing, and business development. Our pragmatic, open IP policy enables us to be outstanding collaborators with our customers and our partners and to be a fully engaged participant in the academic research community. We have been involved in the open source software community throughout our history with projects and platforms such as CMake, VTK, and Paraview. With over 25 years of success operating at the highest level across many technical domains, we know how to get things done. We have deep relationships with many government agencies and commercial partners and have a strong reputation as a reliable and collaborative partner. For example, we have received over $120M in funding from DARPA in the past 15 years.
