Defense engineering and cyber solutions for DoD programs
AM Pierce & Associates operates a DoD-focused engineering shop built on VMware virtualization, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and systems-level tooling (C++, Python, Linux/Red Hat). Active hiring is skewed toward senior engineering roles (7 of 13 open positions) — a signal of technical depth required for their autonomy and test-automation projects. Their pain-point list (porting autonomy software across baselines, legacy system migration, STIGS hardening, Navy ERP process work) reflects the complexity of supporting high-visibility acquisition programs under strict compliance regimes.
AM Pierce & Associates is a privately held defense contractor founded in 2007 and based in Maryland, serving the Department of Defense and related federal customers. The company specializes in Engineering & Research, Cyber, C5ISR, and Program & Acquisition Management. Their active project portfolio spans autonomy software porting, Navy ERP process improvement, E-6B Mercury platform support, and C3 platform integration. The tech stack is infrastructure-heavy (VMware suite, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible) alongside traditional systems languages (C++, Java), reflecting their focus on secure, hardened systems for defense operations.
VMware ecosystem (vSphere, vCenter, ESXi, NSX, Tanzu), Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux/Red Hat/CentOS, C++, Python, Java, and specialized aerospace/defense tools (SATCOM, LiDAR, ACAS, DO-178C).
Active projects include Navy ERP process improvement, E-6B Mercury platform support, C3 platform integration, PMA-262 program support, autonomy software porting, and advanced test environment design.
