Empirical Systems Aerospace, Inc. (ESAero) Tech Stack
Aerospace engineering and low-rate manufacturing for military and commercial air vehicles
ESAero designs and manufactures advanced aircraft systems and sub-scale demonstrators for government and prime contractors, operating dual facilities (32k sq ft design/manufacturing in San Luis Obispo, 8k sq ft flight test at Oceano Airport). The stack reflects a manufacturing-heavy operation: NetSuite and SAP for ERP/MRP, SolidWorks PDM and Altium for design data management, MATLAB and Simulink for systems modeling, plus ground and flight testing infrastructure. Hiring velocity is accelerating with engineering leading (28 open roles), and active projects span VTOL dynamics, adaptive flight controls, and production control measures — indicating concurrent program scaling and internal manufacturing process tightening.
