PMAT
About Us:
PMAT is an innovative small business founded with a passion for developing forward‑leaning solutions from exceptional people that increase the mission's capability. We focus on designing and building impactful digital solutions that utilise modern cloud, data, and software concepts. Our passion is working on complex and progressive challenges such as edge platform computing, containerising legacy platforms, distributed data platforms, or heterogeneous data analysis. We recruit, retain, and foster a team motivated to pursue passions, investigate new ways of doing things, and embody an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. We believe in being curious about every element of a problem and experiment relentlessly. We foster continuous learning in an environment that encourages positive collaboration and expands our capabilities. We tap into collective intelligence, acknowledging that the most brilliant people may not be in the room. Above all else, we believe that delivering and demonstrating is more potent than a sheet of paper. We are passionate about mission‑centric design and delivering effective capabilities to and for the warfighter. Whether you’re an experienced engineer or just beginning your career, you’ll work alongside experts who are committed to solving mission‑critical problems.
