VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Valkyrie, a defense technology company delivering mission-critical engineering, training, and sustainment solutions for the warfighter, has been named a 2026 Top Workplace for Engineers by Engineering.com and Energage, ranking No. 20 among large companies nationwide.

The recognition comes as Valkyrie accelerates its growth across the defense and national security landscape. Valkyrie is expanding its engineering bench, deepening its technical capabilities that support and enabling solutions in the Maritime and Mission Systems domains.

"Engineering is at the heart of everything we do at Valkyrie, and our capabilities are only as strong as the people behind them," said Valkyrie CEO Josh Jackson. "As we grow into new mission areas and take on more complex challenges for our customers, this recognition, driven entirely by our own people, tells us we're building the kind of team that can meet the moment. We want Valkyrie to be a place where talented engineers solve hard problems and help our customers stay ahead of evolving threats."

Valkyrie's engineers and technologists work at the intersection of readiness and innovation. We support defense and industrial customers with real-world and simulated training, critical infrastructure security and sustainment, prototyping, analysis and experimentation, and hands-on integration and maintenance. Thanks to DC Capital Partners’ continued investment and strategic partnership, that work is expanding as Valkyrie builds out new capabilities to support increasingly complex customer missions.

Valkyrie's culture of collaboration, technical excellence, and innovative thinking underpins its broader mission: accelerating readiness through innovation.
