Dogs are allowed. The G.O.A.T. Award is real.
There is an annual trophy with a goat on it. Someone has to win it. This is not a company that mistakes formality for rigour.
Life at Trident
Serious mission. Human place.
Mission and people over profit.
We exist to put critical solutions in the hands of the warfighter, at speed and at scale. That only works when the people doing it come first — so we choose the mission and each other over the margin.
Our Core Values
- Profound Integrity
- Service to others requires honesty, responsibility, and accountability; we will always be true to our word.
- Selfless Humility
- We must humble ourselves to the needs of those we serve to truly help them and each other.
- Furious Resolve
- Solving challenging problems demands intentional focus and difficult choices; we will not fail.
The commute sometimes involves a boat
Field operations put our people on Navy ranges with the hardware they designed. It is the fastest engineering feedback loop we know of, and it is not for everyone.
Small teams, whole problems
You will not own a sliver of a subsystem. People here take a problem from a requirement through a machined part to a deployment, and the person who cut it is often the person who deploys it.
The James S. Cogswell Award
The Cogswell Award is the most prestigious honor the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) can bestow to cleared industry. Of the more than 13,000 cleared contractors in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), less than 1% are annually selected to receive this award.
At Trident Research we are passionate about providing exceptional value in the markets we serve. We live our core values and believe that security is a team effort. As such, we were extremely honored to receive the James Cogswell Award in recognition of our dedication to our Nation, our customers, and our core values.
From the deck to the shop floor.
The work is genuinely consequential — the systems we build support the people who stand watch. That does not make this a solemn office. It makes it a place where the stakes are understood and nobody needs to perform seriousness to prove it.
