WHO WE ARE

Engineers Who Get It. Problems That Matter. Solutions That Work.

Our Story

Summit TRC is a defense-focused engineering services company founded on a simple but powerful idea: to be the best engineers in the room.

We started Summit TRC after seeing too many defense programs struggle with partners who lacked real technical depth or who cared more about billing hours than solving problems. We knew there had to be a better way.

We built Summit TRC to be different. We serve customers who want more than a warm body—they want real expertise, real innovation, and real results. We know what's at stake for you when projects fail or drag on without results.

Our Approach

Engaging Customers.

Delivering Solutions.

We don't just provide services. We engage directly with our customers to understand their challenges, then deliver tailored solutions that work, not generic services that miss the mark. Built by engineers and led by engineers, Summit TRC is grounded in technical excellence, genuine relationships, and unshakable mission focus. We understand what's at stake when complex systems demand deep expertise, innovative thinking, and consistent delivery.

We're not here to be the biggest. We’re here to be the best—at what actually matters.

Core
Values

Add Value

We look for ways to contribute in every room and every conversation. If we're not adding value, we're not fulfilling our purpose.

Do Your Best

We take pride in doing things right and continuously improving ourselves and our work. Excellence isn't optional when national security is on the line.

Have a "Can Do" Attitude

We meet obstacles and challenges head-on. We adapt to situations, overcome obstacles, and solve problems without excuses.

Follow Through

We deliver on what we promise every time. If we can't deliver on a "yes," we don't commit to it. Our word is our bond.

Treat Others with Respect

We’re relationship-driven and lead with respect. Strong partnerships with both customers and colleagues are the foundation of our success.

Our Promise

At Summit TRC, our promise to you is simple but powerful:

We will bring the best engineers to every challenge you face, DELIVERING EXCELLENCE, EVERY TIME.

This is our foundational commitment, not just marketing. When the best engineers in the room tackle your problems, excellence becomes inevitable. You shouldn't have to wonder if your engineering partners are up to the challenge. With Summit TRC, you never will.

OUR LEADERSHIP

Engineers Leading Engineers

Summit TRC's leadership team combines deep technical expertise with a genuine commitment to excellence. We're led by engineers who understand the challenges you face because we've faced them ourselves.

Our leaders aren't just managers; they're practitioners who remain engaged with the technical work. We believe the best leadership comes from those who truly understand the problems being solved and the people solving them. What truly sets our leadership apart, however, is a shared commitment to our core values and our mission to be the best engineers in the room. We lead by example, demonstrating the technical excellence, innovative thinking, and results-focused approach that define Summit TRC.
