Work Culture

Our client thrives on innovation and excellence as they revolutionize data extraction from technical documents. Their AI-powered platform treats documents as a database, transforming flat documents into structured information by analyzing them visually, textually, and semantically.

Their niche lies in specializing in maintenance language and technical data, areas where standard Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools often struggle. With patented technologies and achievements such as multiple SBIR awards, we excel in extraction, linking, and document analysis.

As part of their team, you will contribute to cutting-edge solutions tailored to the military domain. Their work culture is built on collaboration, continual learning, and a commitment to making a tangible difference through technology. Join them to be at the forefront of document understanding and data extraction innovation.
