ICEYE US builds synthetic aperture radar satellite systems and delivers persistent monitoring to U.S. government, defense and commercial buyers. The stack pairs FPGA and RF hardware tooling (Xilinx RFSoC, Zynq UltraScale+, Vivado, VHDL) with mechanical CAE (CATIA, ANSYS, Nastran), pointing to in-house payload design, not just data resale. Accelerating, senior-heavy hiring in engineering and security, plus CMMC and ISO 27001, signals a push toward defense-grade compliance.
