Let’s Do Something Great

Together

Why Areté?

Areté is perhaps the most exciting career choice you will ever make. We produce truly novel sensing solutions through a diverse mix of seasoned leaders in their respective fields complemented by dynamic young minds.

What makes us a great option is how we work. We use first principles thinking. Over two thousand years ago, Aristotle defined a first principle as “the first basis from which a thing is known.” In other words, we look at the inherent nature of the materials we work with and break a problem down to its fundamental principles. We put it all on the table. Then we get to work.

We wouldn’t have such a great reputation for designing sensor systems if we didn’t hire people who think outside the box. We like to say we punch above our weight class.
