Solve the Hard Engineering Problems. Get to Mission Faster.
Complex RF, spacecraft, and defense systems rarely fail because of one isolated engineering problem. They get stuck at the interfaces — between requirements, RF, electronics, firmware, and the larger system.
Apsis provides multidisciplinary engineering services to help space and defense teams turn mission requirements into working hardware.
From system architecture through detailed design and integration, we bring experienced engineers directly to your toughest technical challenges.
Extend Your Engineering Team
When the Problem Doesn't Fit Neatly in One Box
Developing advanced hardware is rarely as simple as filling an open engineering position.
The challenges we hear most often include:
Defining the communications architecture for a new spacecraft
An RF subsystem that isn't meeting performance requirements
A system concept that needs additional expertise to become flight hardware
A schedule that can't wait for months of recruiting and onboarding
These problems cross disciplines. RF performance affects the electronics. Electronics affect the firmware. Firmware affects system behavior. And every decision ultimately has to satisfy the mission.
Solving them effectively requires engineers who can see the whole system.
That's where Apsis comes in.
Engineering That Moves Your Program Forward
We work as an extension of your engineering organization, bringing experienced space and defense engineers into your program where they can make the greatest impact.
Our work spans the full development lifecycle:
Systems engineering and architecture
RF system design and analysis
PCB and electronic hardware design
Embedded firmware development
System integration and test
Spacecraft and subsystem engineering
We can support a specific technical challenge, develop a complete subsystem, or work alongside your team throughout a larger program.
And when an existing Apsis technology provides a head start, we'll use it. The goal isn't to maximize engineering hours. It's to find the best path to a working system.
RF Systems Engineering & Design
RF systems live at the intersection of many engineering disciplines.
A link budget may look straightforward on paper. Turning it into reliable hardware means considering antennas, filtering, amplification, frequency conversion, digital signal processing, electronics, firmware, interfaces, thermal constraints, mechanical packaging, and the operating environment as one system.
Apsis brings those pieces together.
We support RF systems for satellite communications, payloads, ground equipment, UAVs, and defense applications, from early architecture through detailed implementation.
Whether you need help defining a new radio architecture, developing custom electronics, or solving an integration problem, we can engage at the level your program needs.
Space Systems Engineering & Design
We've spent our careers building spacecraft. That experience changes how we approach engineering.
A spacecraft isn't a collection of independent boxes. Every subsystem competes for power, mass, volume, data, thermal capacity, and schedule. Decisions made early in development have consequences all the way through integration, launch, and operations.
Our space systems engineering services bring that operational perspective to your program.
We can support:
Spacecraft and subsystem architecture
Communications and avionics systems
Electrical and electronic design
Embedded flight software
Interface definition and integration
Design reviews and technical trades
Integration, verification, and test
Most importantly, we design with the entire mission lifecycle in mind.
Start With the Mission. Build the Right Solution.
We don't begin an engagement by trying to fit your problem into a predefined package. We start by listening.
-
Understand the mission
01
We work with your technical team to understand the requirements, constraints, schedule, and risks that actually matter.
-
Find the best starting point
02
If an existing Apsis product or technology can solve the problem, we'll tailor it to your application rather than reinventing it.
-
Engineer what's missing
03
When the mission requires something new, our team can develop a custom solution spanning architecture, electronics, RF, and embedded software.
-
Work alongside your team
04
Our engineers communicate directly with your engineers. Problems get discussed with the people solving them, and decisions get made with the broader system in mind.
By working with Apsis, you will have a clearer architecture, fewer unresolved technical risks, working hardware, and a program that's closer to its mission.
Your internal team can stay focused on the areas where they provide the most value, knowing experienced engineers are taking ownership of the problems you've entrusted to us.
The result is a collaborative engineering relationship rather than a black-box supplier.
Tell Us What You're Building
Whether you're developing a satellite, radio, payload, UAV, or another advanced defense system, we'd like to understand the problem you're trying to solve.
Bring us the requirements. We'll help you figure out the path from there.
