Apogee Research brings cutting-edge research into practice for the DoD community. We blend agility with rigor to develop new technologies and transition them into operational use. Founded in 2012, Apogee Research brings together cross-discipline teams to solve difficult and often deemed impossible problems across a range of different technical domains. At Apogee Research we work hard, we get things done, and we do it together.
Apogee Research’s pioneering STITCHES toolchain[1] is enabling a step change in the speed and flexibility with which heterogeneous, distributed systems can be integrated; the advantages of STITCHES have been demonstrated in flight tests[2] and were recognized by both the Air Force[3] and the US Congress[4]. Apogee Research is looking for someone to join our team that is interested in developing a complex web-based development environment for construction and visualization of graph and xml specification data supported by robust java backend tooling. You will develop custom react components and interactive D3 graphs that will allow users to visualize, define and edit relationships between graph elements that are synchronized with content in xml editors.
The position is located in our Arlington, VA office (full time in office). All candidates must be eligible to obtain a clearance and therefore all candidates must be a US citizen to apply.
