Quantum Signal is making preparations for a significant growth spurt this year, capitalizing on a year when the Ann Arbor-based firm hired five people.
The Company's staff is still around 30 people with the occasional consultant. However, it hopes to add another 5-10 people to its headquarters on the south side of the city near the Ann Arbor Airport in 2010.
"Right now we have so many projects we can barely keep up," says Mitch Rohde, CEO of Quantum Signal. "We need more people."
All of that growth is organic for the 10-year-old firm that uses high-end engineering mathematics and algorithms to extract information from visual data. Think the type of software used in face-recognition devices. It also develops military training simulations and commercial video games.
The company expects to continue growing organically, making its existing customers happy enough so the existing contracts become fatter, bad economy or no.
"In the good times we do well and in bad times we do even better," Rohde says. "
