Federal Government
Built for the Mission. Cleared for the Challenge.
CriticalTilt designs, builds, and secures advanced technology systems for the federal government.
From AI and HPC environments to secure IT and cyber infrastructure, we support high-trust, high-stakes programs with solutions that deliver measurable outcomes—compliantly and confidently.
We don’t just understand the federal space. We operate inside it every day.
Supporting Missions That Matter
Federal agencies face a unique challenge
Evolve rapidly to meet mission demands—while operating within some of the most complex security, policy, and budget constraints in the world.
Our team has decades of experience inside this world. We’ve worked with national labs, defense programs, civilian science agencies, and federally funded research efforts.
We understand how to modernize under governance, integrate securely, and deploy technologies that function across the full lifecycle—not just in theory. We speak the language of clearance, compliance, and complexity—and we get the job done without adding red tape.
Problems We Solve
You Need Modern Tech Inside a Legacy Environment
We design systems that meet today’s mission needs and work inside yesterday’s constraints.
You’re Facing Clearance, Compliance, or Budget Bottlenecks
We tailor architectures and documentation to reduce approval time and streamline rollout.
You Need Trustworthy Partners for Classified or Sensitive Projects
We provide cleared, deeply technical engineers—not just badge holders.
