Engineering Tomorrow’s Systems

We build the infrastructure that lets operators trust unmanned systems at scale. That covers secure enrollment, key management, verifiable provenance and firmware updates for PX4 and Zephyr fleets.

Unmanned Systems

Experience with rapid prototyping, building, and integrating autonomous and adjacent robotics systems

We focus on shortening iteration loops across mechanics, electronics, firmware, and comms, to test assumptions early, de-risk integration, and converge on reliable, maintainable, and scalable production.

Manufacturing & prototyping

  • Ability to self manufacture battery packs from individual cells with smart battery capabilities and telemetry
  • CNC (Computer Numerical Control) to produce custom components in the critical path
  • Extensive experience with 3D printing (including large form factor) and quick prototyping with novel materials

Electronics

  • Custom PCB design for highly integrated Pixhawk controller base boards and companion computers

Comms

Firmware & autonomy

Assembly

  • End to end assembly of different copter and fixed wing frame types
