Radiation-tolerant secure space avionics, radios and data processing
Innoflight builds secure communications, processing and networking hardware for satellite buses and payloads. The stack pairs FPGA/VHDL design on Xilinx and Microsemi parts with Embedded Linux, RTOS, Rust and Go, plus AES, RSA and ECDSA crypto, which points to in-house hardware-software co-design. Accelerating, senior-weighted engineering hiring alongside CMMC and NIST compliance pressure suggests growing defense program work.
Innoflight is a privately held space avionics company founded in 2004 and headquartered in San Diego, California, with 51–200 employees. It develops radiation-tolerant, low size, weight and power electronics covering RF radios, cryptographic systems, IP networking, processing and data storage for spacecraft. Customers include the U.S. Government and allies, defense prime contractors, satellite bus providers and newer space companies. The company holds AS9100D and ISO 9001 certifications and focuses on small and tactical satellites, including CubeSats.
Innoflight works with FPGAs (Xilinx, Microsemi), VHDL, C/C++, Rust, Go, Python, Embedded Linux, RTOS, ARM Cortex and RISC-V, plus SpaceWire, IPsec, AES, RSA and ECDSA.
Yes. Hiring at Innoflight is accelerating and almost entirely engineering-focused, weighted toward senior roles, with all openings in the United States.
Current work includes satellite avionics and payload data processing, digital modulators for satellite communications, tactical waveforms such as Link-16, Embedded Linux solutions and automated testing.
