OptimAero

Who we are:
An aerobotics design, build, and test house founded in 2018. We work out of a 4,800 sq ft hangar in Tehachapi, CA. The team is led by two Aerospace PhDs from Georgia Tech and is supported by a diverse team of engineers with PhDs, MSs, and years of on-the-job and hobby experience. We combine our passion for flight with our skills in engineering to give our projects the best chance of success.

What we do:
Core Competencies:
 Guidance, Navigation, & Control (GNC), System Identification
 Autopilot and Ground Control Station (GCS) development
 Modeling and Simulation (flight dynamics, HITL/SITL, avionics)
 UAS sizing and design from the ground up, prototyping, and flight testing primarily VTOL aircraft
 Automation, beyond-waypoint guidance, GPS-denied flight
 Multidisciplinary Optimization (MDO)
 Hardware and Software Architecture
 Systems Engineering (requirements management, integration, verification, and validation)
