Military electromagnetic spectrum and RF systems for DoD and intelligence agencies
Pacific Defense builds electromagnetic spectrum and RF systems for the Department of Defense and intelligence community. The tech stack is deeply embedded—Linux, C/C++, FPGA, ARM, Kalman filters, and protocol layers (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, TLS)—reflecting real-time signal processing and edge intelligence work. Hiring is mid-to-senior weighted (12 of 14 open roles) across engineering and finance, with acute focus on network modernization, PNT (positioning, navigation, timing) program execution, and financial discipline—suggesting both technical scaling and operational maturation pressures as contract demand accelerates.
Pacific Defense delivers electromagnetic spectrum and RF technology solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and their industrial partners. Founded in 2020, the company operates from El Segundo, California with 51–200 employees. Core capabilities span electronic warfare, RF systems, AI/ML, communications, and space systems. Current operational priorities include network modernization and infrastructure upgrades, execution of assured PNT programs, and strengthening proposal and financial processes—all signals of a young defense contractor scaling to handle larger, more complex contract portfolios.
