A typical staff augmentation engagement includes pre-vetted senior engineer matching, 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 staff augmentation because of open engineering roles unfilled for months, 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.
