Senior Project Manager

ATI builds and manages collaborations that conducts research and development of new technologies to solve our nation's most pressing challenges. Our collaborations are custom-built teams of organizations from industry and academia that develop novel technologies for the federal government. Traditionally, these processes are complicated and burdensome. That's where ATI comes in. We simplify and streamline processes to make it all work.
