Heads Up Technologies Tech Stack
In-flight cabin systems and lighting for business and commercial aviation
Heads Up Technologies designs and manufactures embedded avionics for aircraft cabins—lighting, audio, CMS, and safety systems. The tech stack is deeply embedded (FPGA, RTOS, Xilinx, QNX Neutrino, ARM, DO-178C) with a heavy focus on real-time video/audio pipelines and FPGA work. Active hiring is engineering-heavy (19 of 30 roles), centered on embedded systems and manufacturing, and the project backlog reveals active work on next-generation cabin systems alongside infrastructure maturity (build pipelines, artifact repos, package management)—indicating a scaling organization working to reduce cycle time and production bottlenecks while managing aerospace compliance rigor (AS9100).
