Aerospace components and propulsion systems for autonomous and VTOL aircraft
Baxter Aerospace designs and manufactures precision aerospace components—harnesses, avionics, and propulsion systems—for autonomous aircraft and satellite platforms. The stack is embedded-systems focused (C, ARM Cortex-M, FreeRTOS) paired with CAD and PCB tools (Onshape, Altium Designer, Mastercam), reflecting a hardware-first engineering culture. Active hiring is skewed toward manufacturing and production roles, and the project list reveals a transition from R&D into scaled production: the company is moving satellite and hybrid-electric propulsion concepts into repeatable manufacturing workflows while optimizing shop floor efficiency.
Baxter Aerospace manufactures aerospace harnesses, avionics, and propulsion components for autonomous aircraft systems, VTOL UAVs, and satellite communications platforms. Founded in 2015 and based in St. George, Utah, the company operates as a partnership with 11–50 employees across engineering, manufacturing, and logistics. Current work spans production scaling of aerospace harnesses, hybrid-electric propulsion development, and the transition of R&D prototypes into high-volume manufacturing. The organization is implementing ERP systems and standardized SOPs to support growth in cycle time, shop floor efficiency, and production repeatability.
Embedded systems (C, ARM Cortex-M, FreeRTOS, JTAG), CAD/PCB design (Onshape, Altium Designer, Mastercam), and automation tools (Python, PowerShell, Bash). Office stack is Microsoft 365 and Google Sheets.
