Miniaturized defense electronics and unmanned systems
Heaviside builds embedded systems and electronics for defense applications, with a deep embedded-systems stack (C, C++, RTOS, assembly) paired with hardware design tools (SolidWorks, CATIA). The project mix—real-time robotic control, small unmanned systems, tactical UAV airframes, and ruggedized enclosures—reveals a company translating physics into compact, field-hardened products. Hiring is engineering-heavy with senior and staff-level positions, and pain points center on inventory efficiency and hardware validation in contested environments.
Heaviside transforms advanced physics into miniaturized solutions for defense and space applications. The company operates from Marina del Rey with 51–200 employees focused on embedded systems, printed circuit board design, and small unmanned platforms. Their work spans real-time control software, tactical airframe design, launch mechanisms, and ruggedized enclosures—all built around low size, weight, and power constraints. Active hiring across engineering, finance, and logistics reflects steady growth in both product development and operational scaling.
Embedded systems languages (C, C++, assembly, RTOS), hardware design tools (SolidWorks, CATIA), and debug/test infrastructure (GDB, JTAG, I2C, CAN). Business systems include QuickBooks, Power BI, SQL, and Tableau.
