Launch vehicle structures and satellite components for space missions
Beyond Gravity manufactures structural and satellite components for launch vehicles and constellations, operating across 12 sites in six countries with ~1,800 employees. The tech stack—CATIA, Siemens NX, ABAQUS, SAP S/4HANA, and FPGA—reflects heavy CAD/simulation and ERP footprint typical of aerospace manufacturing. Active hiring skews 2:1 engineering-to-manufacturing, with ongoing adoption of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, signaling ERP modernization. Pain points cluster around production flow, nonconformance reduction, and on-time delivery—operational friction common in capital-intensive supply chains.
