Who we are

At CTI, a Parsons Company, we deliver cutting-edge technology solutions that empower end-users to SEE (Sense, Evaluate, Effect) the invisible battlespace. Our mission is to provide critical capabilities across spectrum operations, communications, cyberspace, information space, human terrain, gray space, geo-intelligence, modeling & simulation, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance), JADC2 (Joint All-Domain Command and Control), covert operations, and more. These integrated solutions drive mission success, close the Kill Chain, and ensure operational superiority.

Founded in April 2000, CTI was built with a clear purpose: to provide user-focused, high-end software and systems development for the Defense and Intelligence communities. Our team of highly skilled, technically diverse developers works hand-in-hand with military personnel to design and deliver solutions that make a real impact on the fight.

Headquartered in Prince Frederick, Maryland, and supported by a robust remote workforce nationwide, CTI is strategically positioned to serve a wide range of DoD and agency customers. As part of Parsons Corporation, we’ve expanded our capabilities and strengthened our commitment to delivering mission-critical solutions that matter.

We are looking for people who are intellectually curious, self-motivated, committed to excellence, and constantly seeking to learn and grow. Our typical toolset includes the Atlassian tool suite, Git, Gradle, IntelliJ, and Slack but we strive to use the best commercial, open source, or internally developed technologies for each problem. We work in small teams where each person can impact the technical direction of the project.

Here are some examples of solutions we develop:

Real-time geospatial visualization of spectrum, including command and control of integrated platforms/sensors
Tools to collect, process, exploit, and disseminate large amounts of telemetry and sensor data
Immersive 3D scenario modeling for planning, analysis, and training
Algorithms and automation for mission planning and analysis of electronic attack platforms and equipment
