Space defense spacecraft, software, and mission systems for U.S. government
True Anomaly designs and manufactures spacecraft platforms, flight software, and mission operations systems for space defense applications. Founded in 2022 by former U.S. Space Force members, the company is engineering-heavy (101 active engineers across 140 roles) and actively scaling manufacturing capacity while tackling aggressive development timelines and federal compliance. The tech stack—Elixir, PostgreSQL, React, NASTRAN, SolidWorks, and DOORS—reflects a dual need: real-time mission-critical software paired with rigorous systems engineering and manufacturing simulation.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer, Head of Autonomy, Lead Systems Engineer
