North Atlantic Industries manufactures vertically integrated embedded COTS products—single-board computers, I/O boards, power supplies, and pre-integrated modules—for defense, aerospace, and industrial applications. The stack reveals a hardware-centric organization: FPGA design (VHDL), embedded Linux variants (PetaLinux, Yocto), real-time operating systems (VxWorks), and hardware description languages alongside traditional software (C/C++, Qt). Active hiring is engineering-heavy with strong manufacturing support, and project focus centers on BSP kernel development, test automation (DVT/ATP), and NPI manufacturing ramp—typical of a company scaling production while maintaining firmware quality across a portfolio of hardware variants.
NAI has operated since 1955 as a privately held manufacturer of rugged embedded computing products for mission-critical defense, commercial aerospace, and industrial applications. The company maintains vertically integrated design, manufacturing, and verification capabilities, producing over 70 pre-integrated modules alongside modular I/O boards, single-board computers, systems, and power supplies. Based in Bohemia, NY, with 201–500 employees, NAI serves customers whose operational requirements demand high reliability and fast time-to-deployment. The product portfolio emphasizes customization and integration for low-to-mid-volume, high-complexity builds.
NAI uses C, C++, C#, FPGA (VHDL), Linux variants (PetaLinux, Yocto, Buildroot), VxWorks RTOS, Qt for GUIs, and standard embedded interfaces (PCIe, I2C, RS-422/485, Ethernet). SolidWorks, LabVIEW, and Jenkins support hardware design and CI/CD.
Current priorities include BSP kernel and driver development for SBC product lines, Qt and Windows GUI sample programs, NPI manufacturing pilots and SMT assembly ramp, DVT/ATP test automation for modules, and software support kit packages.
