About the firm

Engineering Dynamics is a boutique interdisciplinary engineering consultancy headquartered in Silver Spring, MD. It merges human and applied sciences to put the end user at the center of every engagement. Its principal-led team spans systems engineering (DoD/DoW, MBSE), electrical engineering (DSP, signals, embedded), human factors engineering, cybersecurity architecture, AI and machine learning, software development, UAS/drone systems, transportation engineering, data science, technical writing, and applied human sciences. Since 2017, it has competed and placed in 20-plus federal prize challenges sponsored by NIST PSCR, DARPA, the US Army, HHS/OIG, NIH, the US Census Bureau, and other agencies, earning over $1M in prize winnings. Every client engagement is principal-led with no account management layer.
