Caliola Engineering Company Culture & Values

Describe your company culture in one word. What made you pick that word?
Impactful. ‘Impactful’ describes our culture because what we build and how we work saves lives. Our team is impactful because every decision we make, every system we build and every mission we support has real-world consequences. That shared purpose — protecting lives, enabling critical missions, serving the nation — infuses our culture with clarity and meaning. This deep sense of purpose, paired with a culture of insight, innovation and integrity, is what makes our team not just effective but exceptional. At present, we are currently serving mission-critical communications through our engineering services team while our software and hardware teams are actively working with the Navy to provide the next generation of secure and resilient communications solutions.

What's the coolest project you've worked on recently, and how did it help you grow professionally?
The coolest project I’ve worked on since I’ve been at Caliola has been the creation of the mission planning software for the Navy’s newest satellite modem.

While working on this project, I was able to work directly with our customer at the Navy, including project leads as well as the end users who will be using the product in the future. Getting to visit the end users and locations where the software will be used helped inform our UX and UI design of the program as well as establish relationships with contacts that we can now reach out to for further support on decision-making while developing this application. This has also opened the door for other projects we are working on with the Navy in relation to getting access to stakeholders, subject matter experts and the final end users to provide ongoing feedback during our product development process.
