Values

Graf Research Values

We value ideas as currency

Ideas are the most valuable asset of a research company. We encourage every employee to contribute ideas for research, services, analytics, or products – and support those ideas with opportunities to seek internal and external funding.

Our priority is the customer’s mission

Microelectronics applications in defense, space, communications, autonomy, safety, and security provide vital services to our country and the world. We transform our ideas into products and services that support our customers in these sectors.

Our people are the best

The best people come in all packages. We hire them because they are the best, then treat them with respect and give them flexibility and autonomy to thrive.

We say smart things in public

Ideas grow only when they are innovative and shared with the right people. We support all staff in refining and presenting ideas, both internally and externally.

We leverage autonomy and teamwork

People are most effective when given flexibility to work independently and in teams. We value both flow time and collaboration, enabling each with corporate culture and technology.

We gain purpose through challenge

Solving complex challenges brings intrinsic satisfaction. Our teams push the boundaries of known technologies. We support individual growth through mentorship, tuition reimbursement, and opportunity.

We connect results and rewards

Company growth should benefit all employees. We reward employees for their individual performance through revenue- and profit-sharing.

Integrity is essential

Corporate integrity is born of individual integrity at every position in the company. We hold ourselves accountable, deliver on promises, and value truth and honesty in everything we do.
