Rugged embedded computing boards and systems for defense, aerospace, and space
Aitech Systems designs mission-critical computing hardware for military, aerospace, and space platforms—boards, subsystems, and integrated solutions in VME, OpenVPX, and CPCI form factors. The tech stack reflects a hardware-first, standards-driven organization: VxWorks, FPGA/VHDL, PCIe (now adopting PCIe 5.0), alongside embedded C and Linux. Hiring is concentrated in senior engineering (signal of platform consolidation and qualification cycles) with active projects focused on NPI support, test automation, and manufacturing process definition—typical of a company scaling production while tightening supplier risk.
