Careers

Work that matters where it counts.

We look for bright, energetic people who get the right things done and want their work to matter to the U.S. operators who use it.

Why Perfecta

Build it. Field it. See it used.

At Perfecta you design, build and field technology that goes straight to the mission. That covers software on the Ascalon platform, hardware like Orca and EdgeCon, and the secure factory that builds all of it. No two days are the same, and the work is rarely publicized, but it matters.

We are a hands-on company. We like people who are comfortable in white space, who turn a possible answer to a hard problem into something that works, and who take the lead when something has never been done before.
