HawkEye 360 operates a space-based signals intelligence platform detecting and geolocating radio frequency emissions globally for US defense and intelligence agencies. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first organization: Xilinx FPGAs (RFSoC, MPSoC, Versal), VHDL/Verilog, and specialized RF tools (Altium, QGIS, Software Defined Radio) dominate, paired with Python and C/C++ for signal processing and analytics. Active hiring is heavily skewed toward engineering (11 of 18 roles), with most at senior and director level, reflecting the complexity of satellite hardware integration and first-article unit testing currently underway.
