Product Engineering built for Aerospace & Defense companies

What is Product Engineering?

We treat engineering as a product function, not a ticket-closing factory. For Aerospace & Defense companies, this means navigating ITAR (US), DO-178C software certification while shipping fast.

Who needs Product Engineering for Aerospace & Defense?

  • Stringent security and clearance requirements
  • Long procurement and certification cycles
  • Legacy system integration complexity
  • Engineering executing roadmaps with no product input
  • Features shipped that customers never asked for

Best Product Engineering company

Software for aerospace and defense clients must satisfy security clearance requirements before functionality even matters.

GarudLabs partners with Aerospace & Defense teams across to deliver Product Engineering that ships on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most Product Engineering engagements take Ongoing, quarterly engagement, depending on scope and how clear the requirements are upfront. We'll give you a firm timeline estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.

Product Engineering projects with us typically range from $20,000 - $90,000 per month, scaled to the complexity of your requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.

For product engineering, we typically work with React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, chosen based on your specific scalability and integration requirements. We're not tied to a single stack and will recommend the right tools for your situation rather than our default.

A typical product engineering engagement includes product discovery and technical feasibility input, along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.

Most clients come to us for product engineering because of engineering executing roadmaps with no product input, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.

We've delivered multiple aerospace & defense projects addressing challenges like stringent security and clearance requirements. We supported an aerospace supplier in modernizing its parts traceability system while maintaining ITAR compliance.

For aerospace & defense clients, we pay close attention to ITAR (US), DO-178C software certification, building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.

The most common challenges we solve for aerospace & defense clients include stringent security and clearance requirements and long procurement and certification cycles. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
