Inertial navigation and stabilization systems for aerospace and defense
Civitanavi designs and manufactures inertial measurement units (IMUs) and navigation control systems using proprietary fiber-optic gyro (FOG) and MEMS technology for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. The tech stack reflects a hardware-first engineering culture: Xilinx FPGAs, LabVIEW for signal processing, IBM DOORS for requirements management, and Altium for PCB design. Active projects center on IMU calibration, algorithm development, and prototype iteration—areas where the company explicitly tracks pain points around cycle time and production optimization.
Civitanavi Systems, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Porto Sant'Elpidio, Italy, is a publicly traded manufacturer of navigation, control, and stabilization systems. The company serves aerospace, defense, and industrial customers with FOG and MEMS-based inertial sensors and integrated navigation solutions. Operations span design, prototype development, and production across an organization of 201–500 employees. Current hiring is concentrated in Italy across engineering and manufacturing roles, with an emphasis on junior and mid-level positions. Compliance with aerospace standards (EN9100) and supplier quality management are operational priorities.
Civitanavi uses FOG (fiber-optic gyro) and MEMS technology as the core proprietary foundation. Development tools include Xilinx FPGAs, LabVIEW, Altium Designer for circuit design, and IBM DOORS for requirements traceability.
Key pain points include optimizing production processes, reducing prototype iteration cycles, managing non-conformances, meeting EN9100 aerospace certification standards, and monitoring supplier performance.
