Alion’s rapid design and engineering process incorporates tools and procedures with skilled engineers possessing rich practical domain expertise in defense systems. Alion’s Agile Engineering process applies user-centered, problem-focused engineering conducted in short sprints, with an emphasis on collaboration, iteration, speed, and prototyping while applying state-of-the-art tools at every step.  From CAD modeling to ANSYS Modeling and Simulation to 3D printing/prototyping and internal test capabilities, we embrace the the “Test – Fix – Test” approach and fail forward mentality.  This approach balances risk and innovation fostering the rapid introduction of leading-edge capabilities into the hands of the warfighter and onto to the battlefield today.

Alion offers a pool of retired senior engineers and scientists (GS-14 and -15 level) who are available for short-term assignments to address issues critical to program success.  These talented individuals have “been there and done that” in terms of working high-priority engineering issues, and their experience and insights provide a unique resource for System Program Offices to tap in meeting urgent requirements.
