Research & Development
Unmanned
Research
Engineering rigor is the backbone of what we build. We prove the platform in house, from airframe aerodynamics to autonomy and flight test.
The unit that ships is the unit we engineered, iterated, and proved, not a part adapted from a shelf.
Research Frontier
Airframe & Aerodynamics
We design airframes in house and tune them to the mission profile, not to a catalog. Composite and carbon layups are modeled, built, and revised on our own floor.
Every geometry change is driven by what the platform has to carry and how far it has to fly, then validated against the bench and the range.
Research Frontier
Autonomy & Flight Control
Our targeting units run Ardupilot-based autonomy with GPS waypointing, FPV optional. Guidance, navigation, and control are tuned per configuration.
Firmware, link, and sensor choices are made in house so the autonomy stack improves with the airframe, not against it.
Research Frontier
Flight Test & Validation
Every unit is flown and verified before it leaves. Endurance, range, and link are measured, not estimated, with telemetry captured on every sortie.
Results carry from a single prototype to a full production run, so the fleet performs the way the first article did.
Disciplines Under One Roof
Airframe
Composite Engineering
Carbon and composite design, layup, and assembly tuned to the mission, built on our own floor.
Avionics
Embedded Systems
Flight controllers, power, and link integrated in house, configuration by configuration.
Autonomy
Guidance & Control
Ardupilot-based autonomy, GPS waypointing, and terminal guidance, validated in flight.
Manufacturing
Production Engineering
The line that turns a proven prototype into a deployable fleet without leaving the building.
- Full-time work on fast-paced, real programs
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
- Design, fabrication, and test under one roof in Austin
- In-house equipment: CNC, composite layup, flight-test range
