Space hardware and defense engineering for NASA, DoD, and commercial operators
Aegis Aerospace designs and integrates spacecraft hardware and ground systems for government and commercial space missions. The tech stack reflects a heavy simulation and CAD footprint (STK, ANSYS, CATIA, SolidWorks, MATLAB) paired with modern observability (Elastic stack) and infrastructure (Linux, VMware, GitLab) — indicating engineering-first operations balanced against emerging cloud and security priorities. Active hiring across engineering and security, with senior roles dominating the 53 open positions, signals scaling toward larger contract vehicles and elevated compliance requirements.
Aegis Aerospace is a woman-owned defense and space contractor headquartered in Webster, TX, formed through the merger of Alpha Space and MEI Technologies. The company serves NASA, Department of Defense, and commercial space operators with turn-key solutions across commercial space services, engineering, and technology products. Current project scope spans ISS payload hardware, commercial space station design, deep-space logistics optimization, and test facility infrastructure. Revenue-generating work includes IRES contract support, DHSTO space test programs, and AMMP grant agreements, with operational challenges centered on test environment integrity, contract cost tracking, legacy system modernization, and cybersecurity posture.
Primarily STK, ANSYS Mechanical, SolidWorks, CATIA, MATLAB, and Simulink for design and simulation; Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana for observability; C++ and Python for development; Linux, Red Hat, VMware for infrastructure.
ISS payload hardware development, commercial space station design, deep-space logistics optimization, ground system test networks, and mission-critical technology assessments for NASA and DoD contracts.
