Who We Are

TacitEdge, a Virginia corporation with reach across the United States, is an employee-focused company providing distinguished engineering, scientific, program management, and strategic services to U.S. Government and commercial customers developing civil or military advanced technologies.

We are a team of full-time and part-time professionals with technical, business, and defense expertise. We are known for the quality and comprehensiveness of our work, our ability to “think bigger”, to build in-situ client teams that make programs successful, and for fusing technical acumen with actionable communication. Our culture values mentorship across our diverse staff, particularly by cross-linking our part-time consultants and subject matter experts with our full-time personnel.

We aim to serve discerning customers, and to remain a small, sustainable, privately-owned company, differentiating ourselves through loyalty.

We believe strongly in equality of opportunity, so we build our team with persons of outstanding aptitude from all walks of life, without regard to factors impertinent to professional capability.

We seek to be the preferred home for eminent retired professionals who still want to consult on interesting projects, share our values, and want the business side made easy so they can focus on the projects.

Our clients include elite organizations such as the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and commercial startups.
