Avionics and aerospace electronics from Spanish R&D heritage
Skylife Engineering applies 40 years of university-backed R&D to avionics, flight management, and real-time monitoring systems. The tech stack—VHDL, FPGA, DSP, and embedded design tools (Altium Designer)—confirms deep hardware engineering work; current hiring is engineering-focused with intern-to-senior mix, signaling both skill development and active project scaling. Pain-point data reveals cost and cycle-time pressure, typical of suppliers moving from custom aerospace builds toward repeatable industrial processes.
Skylife Engineering designs and develops avionics, flight management systems, and real-time monitoring equipment for aerospace and industrial applications. Founded in 2011, the company emerged from a research group at the University of Seville with 40 years of combined R&D experience across electronics and systems integration. Beyond new product development, they modernize and miniaturize existing equipment and integrate with avionics data buses. The team of 51–200 employees operates from Seville and currently pursues embedded hardware development, industrial digitalization projects, and R&D consortia work.
Core languages: VHDL, C/C++. Hardware design: FPGA, DSP, Altium Designer. Visualization: Blender, 3ds Max, Adobe Suite, Substance 3D Painter. Real-time systems: HMI, SCADA.
