Defense communications systems integrator for wireless, SATCOM, and RF networks
Fairwinds Technologies builds custom communications and networking systems for defense and civilian agencies, with a tech stack anchored in RF/FPGA engineering (GNU Radio, MATLAB, Xilinx platforms, embedded Linux) and SATCOM integration. The hiring surge is heavily weighted toward senior and director-level engineers—5 of 9 open roles in the past 30 days—suggesting they're scaling from prototype work into production delivery and navigating the prototype-to-product transition they've identified as a core challenge.
