High-performance embedded computing for defense and signals intelligence
Annapolis Micro Systems manufactures ruggedized embedded processors and FPGA-based boards for military and intelligence applications, built on OpenVPX and SOSA standards. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward hardware design (Xilinx, Altera, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Solidworks) with VHDL and C/C++ for firmware — a profile consistent with deep embedded systems work. Active projects center on PCB manufacturability, quality systems, and process compliance, signaling that the organization is prioritizing production scaling and certification maintenance over new product launches.
Annapolis Micro Systems designs and manufactures embedded computing boards and modules for defense, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence customers. The product line includes OpenVPX 100GbE systems, ultra-wideband direct RF solutions, and the WILD100 FPGA ecosystem built on modular open systems architecture (MOSA, SOSA, and CMOSS standards). The company operates from Annapolis, Maryland, with a 51–200-person team split primarily between engineering and manufacturing. A steady hiring cadence across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and quality roles reflects ongoing demand for production capacity and process maturity.
Xilinx and Altera FPGAs, InfiniBand, JESD204 interfaces, Cadence and Mentor Graphics for PCB design, Solidworks for mechanical CAD, VHDL and C/C++ for firmware, VxWorks and PetaLinux for embedded OS.
Active projects include high-density PCB design, quality management system enhancement, root cause analysis and six-sigma process improvement, manufacturability optimization, and corrective action workflows — focused on scaling production and certification compliance.
