Electra.aero Tech Stack

Ultra short takeoff hybrid-electric aircraft for regional air mobility

Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing Manassas, Virginia 51–200 employees Founded 2020 Privately Held

Electra designs and builds hybrid-electric aircraft capable of takeoff and landing in 150 feet or less, targeting regional routes where conventional airports are impractical. The tech stack—CATIA, Siemens NX, MATLAB/Simulink, JAMA, Teamcenter—reflects a hardware-first, simulation-heavy engineering culture typical of aerospace OEMs. Hiring is almost entirely engineering-focused (55 of 69 roles), with a seniority mix weighted toward senior and principal engineers, indicating active aircraft development and certification work rather than scaling operations.
