Transportation planning and engineering across infrastructure, planning, and autonomous vehicle strategy
Kittelson & Associates is a transportation engineering and planning firm with 200+ staff across 20+ U.S. offices, founded in 1985. The tech stack—Civil 3D, MicroStation, ArcGIS, VISSIM, Tableau, and Python—reflects a design-heavy, analysis-forward practice that blends CAD production with transportation modeling and data visualization. No recent adopts or tech shifts are flagged, suggesting a mature, stable toolkit; hiring remains minimal (9 engineering roles open, none in the last 30 days), with a senior-heavy mid-career mix.
Kittelson & Associates solves transportation problems for municipalities, state DOTs, and regional planning bodies through planning, design, operations, and research. The firm specializes in roadway and intersection design, multimodal transportation planning, intelligent transportation systems, traffic impact studies, and autonomous vehicle strategy. Work spans from single-intersection improvements to long-range community transportation plans. The firm operates as a distributed practice—19 nationalities across 20+ offices—while maintaining a unified culture and collaborative approach to project delivery.
Kittelson uses AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroStation, and OpenRoads for design; ArcGIS for mapping; VISSIM for traffic modeling; and Tableau and Power BI for analysis and reporting. Adobe Creative Suite handles visualization and documentation.
Kittelson & Associates is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with 20+ additional offices across the United States and staff from 19 different countries.
