Safety-critical electronics and power systems for automotive, aerospace, and defense
Silver Atena designs and manufactures high-reliability electronic systems—inverters, chargers, control units, avionics—for automotive, aerospace, and defense applications. The tech stack (Altium, KiCad, C++, IEC 61508) reflects a hardware-first engineering culture; hiring is concentrated in senior engineers (12 of 24 active roles) and skews toward embedded systems and validation work, consistent with their focus on complex, regulated product development where experience matters more than headcount growth.
Silver Atena is a Munich-based contract developer and manufacturer of safety-critical electronic systems, founded in 1998. The company serves OEMs across three verticals: automotive (high-speed inverters, DC/DC converters, chassis control), aerospace (engine control units, avionics, high-lift electronics), and defense (control components for military systems). In-house capabilities span requirements engineering, functional safety and cybersecurity, hardware and software design, mechanical engineering, testing and validation, and manufacturing. All work is certified to automotive (ISO 26262), aerospace (DO-178), and MIL standards. The company operates at 201–500 employees and is based entirely in Germany.
Safety-critical electronic systems for automotive (inverters, chargers, DC/DC converters), aerospace (engine control units, avionics), and defense applications. They handle full product lifecycle from requirements and design through prototype, series production, and delivery.
ISO 26262 (automotive functional safety), DO-178 (aerospace software), and MIL standards (military defense). All products are qualified under these frameworks.
