Engineering consulting for industrial and defense systems
STEP UP staffs technical consulting across mechanical engineering, systems integration, and electronics for complex industrial and defense projects. The tech stack reveals a dual focus: enterprise integration (SAP, Oracle, PostgreSQL) paired with specialized engineering tools (CATIA, MATLAB, IBM DOORS). Adoption of 3DEXPERIENCE and Teamcenter alongside migration away from legacy Oracle suggests a shift toward modern PLM and cloud infrastructure. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 330 engineers across senior and mid levels, matching active workload in defense programs and industrial automation platforms.
Notable leadership hires: Tech Lead, Lead Tech FullStack, Tech Lead Python, Industrialization Lead, Investment Project Lead
