Space avionics and secure communications hardware for government and defense contractors
Innoflight designs radiation-tolerant avionics, RF systems, and secure communications hardware for small satellites and tactical space platforms. The stack is heavily embedded (Embedded Linux, RTOS, FPGA, Xilinx, ARM Cortex, RISC-V) with aerospace-grade modeling tools (ANSYS, NASTRAN, SolidWorks Simulation) and security frameworks (CMMC, NIST, AES, IPsec). Senior-heavy hiring (13 of 18 open roles) focused on embedded engineering signals they're scaling production alongside a secondary push to improve FP&A processes and reduce test failures—a pattern typical of defense contractors maturing their manufacturing and compliance operations.
Innoflight is a Non-traditional Defense Contractor founded in 2004, headquartered in San Diego, California. The company develops low-SWaP (size, weight, power) avionics, networking, communications, and security solutions for space vehicle buses and payloads, with flight heritage across multiple orbits. Customers include the U.S. Government and allies, major defense prime contractors, satellite bus providers, and commercial space developers. The company holds AS9100D and ISO 9001 certifications. With 51–200 employees, Innoflight operates in the high-assurance aerospace and defense segment, balancing innovation cycles with regulatory compliance and mission-critical reliability requirements.
