Aerospace and defense systems integration, modernization, and sustainment
KIHOMAC modernizes and sustains aerospace systems for DoD and commercial customers through integration, development, and manufacturing. The tech stack reveals a security-first, compliance-heavy operation: SysML/Enterprise Architect for systems engineering, AWS/OpenShift/Kubernetes for containerized workloads, and a full observability layer (ELK stack) paired with MITRE ATT&CK and NIST frameworks. Active migration from vSphere to cloud infrastructure and adoption of NetBox (infrastructure as code) signal accelerating infrastructure modernization. The hiring mix is engineering-dominated (55 roles) with substantial security (18) and manufacturing (14) teams, matching project focus on mission-critical system design, cybersecurity strategy, and hardware/software testing.
KIHOMAC is a systems integration and manufacturing company supporting the Department of Defense and commercial aerospace sectors since 2003. The company operates across four core capability areas: systems integration, development, manufacturing, and sustainment services. With 201–500 employees and 123 active open roles, KIHOMAC is scaling aggressively, particularly in engineering and security disciplines. Current work spans prototype installations, mission system modernization (T6 modifications), cloud migration, and Navy opportunity capture. The organization emphasizes compliance-driven processes (STIG, NIST, ISO 27001) and operates observability and log processing pipelines to monitor system health and security posture across deployed systems.
KIHOMAC uses SysML and Enterprise Architect for systems design; AWS, OpenShift, and Kubernetes for cloud infrastructure; ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for observability; and MITRE ATT&CK, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and ISO 27001 for security and compliance.
KIHOMAC is replacing vSphere with cloud infrastructure (AWS/OpenShift) and adopting NetBox for infrastructure-as-code management, signaling a shift from on-premises virtualization to containerized cloud platforms.
