AI-enabled RF/cyber security for defense embedded systems
Secmation builds security tooling for defense programs—fusing RF/cyber analysis, embedded hardening, and systems engineering. The stack is heavily signal-processing focused (MATLAB, Python, GNU Radio, REDHAWK, ARM) with no adopting/replacing signals, suggesting a stable, specialized tech foundation. Hiring is engineering-dominant (66 of 84 roles) weighted toward senior and principal levels, with an accelerating velocity and a newly formed Business Development Director role—clear indicators of scaling into government contract capture and market expansion.
