Optical communications terminals for satellite, airborne, and mobile networks
Mynaric manufactures laser communication terminals for space, aviation, and ground applications. The stack—SAP ERP, Siemens CAD/PLM, FPGA firmware (C/C++), and MATLAB modeling—reflects a hardware-first organization managing complex optical-mechanical design and supply-chain operations. Active hiring skews engineering (14 roles) and manufacturing (9), with mid-to-senior dominance, alongside aggressive build-schedule and plant-optimization efforts in the project list—a signature of hardware companies ramping production toward customer deliveries.
Mynaric is a publicly traded (Nasdaq/Frankfurt) manufacturer of optical communications terminals enabling high-speed, long-distance data links between satellites, aircraft, high-altitude platforms, and ground stations. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Gilching, Germany, the company operates R&D and commercial sites in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. The product family spans free-space optical (FSO) and quantum-key-distribution (QKD) solutions. Operations center on first-prototype builds, NPI/ramp-up support, plant performance optimization, and intercompany process coordination—typical of a 201–500-person hardware vendor transitioning from development into manufacturing scale.
