About Us
Research engineering and scientific software — building tools that solve real problems.
The Company
Slick Engineering & Consulting, Inc. was founded in 2016 and is based in Delray Beach, Florida. We are a research engineering and consulting firm that builds practical tools and software products rooted in applied science — from professional imaging and thermal analysis tools to mobile applications that put specialized capabilities in users' hands.
We don't build software for software's sake. Every product we create is a means to an end — solving a real problem or giving people a useful tool they wouldn't otherwise have access to.
The Founder
Corey Slick is a research engineer with over 20 years of experience supporting the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and NASA. He holds M.S. and B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Penn State University.
Corey is a former engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Caltech/JPL), where he worked on imaging sensor system simulation and radiometric modeling, and at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), where he contributed to ballistic missile defense IR seeker analysis and NASA spacecraft guidance & control modeling for the Van Allen Probes mission.
His career spans hands-on work across electro-optical and infrared sensing, LiDAR remote sensing, image & signal processing, real-time anomaly detection from airborne platforms, and embedded systems prototyping. He has worked directly with U.S. Naval Special Warfare (DEVGRU) on special reconnaissance equipment R&D, and has supported programs across the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Intelligence Community in roles ranging from civil service to independent consultant and trusted agent.
