R&D and engineering services for U.S. military and federal agencies
HX5 is a government contractor providing research, development, testing, and engineering support to the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, NASA, and GSA. The tech stack—MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, AutoCAD, and legacy languages (Fortran, C++) alongside Microsoft enterprise tools—reflects work on complex simulations, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and mission-critical systems. Engineering dominates active hiring (55 of 83 roles, mostly senior-level), and active projects span regenerative fuel cells, cyber capabilities, and aircraft mobility programs, indicating sustained demand for specialized RDT&E capacity.
HX5 delivers research, development, test, and evaluation services to federal customers, with a focus on defense and aerospace. Founded in 2004 and based in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the company operates across 30+ states with employees cleared and experienced in government contracting. Service lines include weather operations, software and hardware engineering, IT infrastructure, mission operations support, and program management. As a Woman-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HX5 competes for set-aside contracts while maintaining the security certifications and compliance posture required for defense work.
