Defense IT consulting and cyber solutions for mission-critical systems
Aquila delivers IT and cyber services to defense and national security programs, with an engineering-heavy staff split (24 engineers, 3 security specialists) actively hiring across both disciplines. The tech stack spans legacy systems (CVS, Assembly, UNIX) and modern tooling (Python, GitLab, Jira, Red Hat), reflecting the reality of supporting heterogeneous defense infrastructure. Current project focus on CNO tools development, database systems for classified programs, and real-time image processing for sensor testbeds indicates deep involvement in operational technology and intelligence workflows.
