Military RF and EW systems for DoD spectrum operations
Pacific Defense builds electromagnetic spectrum and RF systems for DoD and Intelligence Community customers. The tech stack reflects hardware-centric development—Xilinx FPGAs, ARM embedded systems, VHDL/Verilog, MATLAB—paired with software layers (Python, C++) for signal processing and waveform development. Nearly all 9 active roles are senior-level engineering and manufacturing positions, signaling aggressive scaling in a high-mix, low-volume production environment where schedule and supplier risk are active pain points.
Pacific Defense develops military-grade electromagnetic spectrum and RF solutions, including electronic warfare systems, communications waveforms, and edge-based intelligence platforms. Founded in 2020, the company operates from El Segundo, California, with a 51–200-person team serving the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and prime contractors. Current execution focuses on embedded communications waveforms, OpenVPX platform integration to CMOSS/SOSA standards, and advanced aerospace electronics programs. The business operates under typical defense manufacturing constraints: high-mix low-volume production, aggressive customer and program milestones, and extended supplier lead times.
FPGA (Xilinx MPSoC), ARM embedded systems, VHDL/Verilog, Python, C++, MATLAB for signal processing, plus defense-standard networking (BGP, OSPF, VPN, SSL/TLS) and program management tools (Microsoft Project, Dynamics 365, MagicDraw).
Communications waveform development, embedded waveform platforms, OpenVPX CMOSS/SOSA platform integration, and advanced military electronics and aerospace hardware programs.
