Home/Space/What we bring

What we bring to a space venture.

Six capabilities, each backed by operating experience building and shipping the equivalent system at production scale — and each aimed at a specific problem a space company has to solve before it can sell.

Capabilities

Where we are useful, and why

Ideas we'd bring on day one

Three product theses for the space economy.

Not abstractions — things we would start building in the first month, with a specific customer in mind.

"Launch with us, fly with us"

A launch or spaceport provider becomes stickier — and captures more of the mission's lifetime value — with a software layer on top: telemetry, tracking, and command-and-control delivered as a cloud service to the payload operators it flies. The model has been proven internationally; there is room for a US-based, ITAR-clean version anchored to a launch provider.

The orbital node is a NIC problem

The differentiator in orbital compute will not be the processor; it will be the fabric, the interconnect software, and the ground link — the same place data-center vendors have always won and lost. Software-first design of the node's networking stack is where an early team should over-invest.

Sensing SDKs for proximity operations

Servicing and debris-removal missions will each need a sensing and localization stack for the last hundred meters. Most will build it from scratch. A productized SDK — sensors, fusion, simulation, and validation — is the reusable layer, and the one we know how to build.

Credentials that matter here

The relevant parts of the record.

A short list, chosen for what a space founder or investor actually cares about.

Systems & silicon

  • Eight-plus SoC families concept to revenue
  • Multi-speed 10G Ethernet controllers with sophisticated network processors offloading complex networking functions; deployable after first tape-out
  • Time-sensitive networking software for safety-critical systems
  • U.S. patents in networking, time-sensitive systems, and distributed media

RAMS & safety engineering

  • Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) engineering across architecture, verification, and operations
  • Certified functional-safety professional and certified process assessor
  • A decade of safety-critical software: vibration, thermal, EMI, zero-downtime
  • Software-first bring-up and validation methodology for silicon that cannot be respun

Robotics & autonomy

  • Advanced degrees in robotics, AI, and control theory on the team
  • Autonomous vehicle design and navigation, from research through product
  • Sensing and autonomy SDK architecture for Physical AI
  • Autonomous-navigation productization for automotive

U.S. citizen leadership, clearance-eligible.
