About IntelliSys Solutions Group

IntelliSys Solutions Group (ISG) is a growing engineering and project management consulting firm headquartered in South Philadelphia. We support the U.S. Navy and other federal organizations by delivering innovative engineering, software development, logistics, and technical services that improve fleet readiness and mission success.

  • Evaluate existing electrical systems and provide recommendations to improve reliability, maintainability, safety, and operational performance.
  • Collaborate with Government engineers, ship's force personnel, shipyards, and multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout project execution.
  • Prepare technical reports, engineering studies, design documentation, and presentations supporting customer decision-making.
