HEICO Tech Stack

Aerospace and defense parts manufacturer with avionics and subsystem expertise

Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing Hollywood, FL 10,001+ employees Founded 1957 Public Company

HEICO manufactures replacement engine and aircraft components, avionics, and defense electronics through two operating groups. The tech stack—dominated by CAD tools (SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, Altium Designer), simulation (ANSYS, ABAQUS, COMSOL), and specialty avionics protocols (ARINC 429, CAN)—reflects deep embedded systems and mechanical design work. Active replacement of LabVIEW signals a modernization effort in test automation, while pain points around legacy ATE software migration, yield, and inventory control indicate an engineering-led organization working to operationalize manufacturing at scale.
