Engineering
HighQ is an engineering firm specializing in electrical design and software development for prototype aerospace vehicles, taking projects from a blank page through flight-ready hardware and code.
Avionics System Design
We build aircraft-level electrical and avionics architecture from a clean sheet, matched to your vehicle rather than adapted from someone else’s platform. Includes hardware selection and hardware-in-the-loop build-out.
Flight Software
HighQ writes the onboard and ground software that runs your vehicle, scoped to its complexity. We build reusable, highly reliable frameworks, not one-off scripts.
Instrumentation
We design the sensors, wire harnesses, and data networks that capture what happens in flight. Scoped to what your program needs to validate performance and support certification.
Data Acquisition Systems
HighQ designs and builds the DAQ hardware and software that collects and processes flight data, bench tested before it ever reaches the vehicle.
Telemetry Systems
We design, integrate, and test the systems that get live data from vehicle to ground reliably, including range checkout and flight test support.
PCB Design
When a component doesn’t exist off the shelf, we design it. Custom PCBs and PCBAs built from hardware logic through fabrication-ready designs.
Aerospace Consulting
For smaller or earlier-stage needs, we offer design reviews and bridge projects like wire harness definition as a first step.

From a blank page through flight-ready hardware and code.
We work as an embedded technical partner for early-stage hard tech teams, handling the avionics, software, instrumentation, and testing work required to get an experimental vehicle off the ground. Bring us your problem, and we’ll bring back the solution, engineered, tested, and ready to sign off.
Flight Simulators
We build hardware-in-the-loop platforms and simulation environments that let you validate control laws and cockpit displays before hardware flies.
Systems Integration
HighQ integrates electrical, avionics, and software systems into one working platform, turning individually functioning components into a vehicle ready to fly.
Flight Test Operations
HighQ supports the operational and data side of test flights, from test planning through day-of-test execution, so your campaign runs efficiently and safely.
Why HighQ
Many of HighQ’s engineers are pilots themselves, and the team has designed and flown systems on real aircraft, from spacecraft to supersonic jets to some of the largest aircraft ever built. That combination of hands-on flight experience and deep technical background is a credibility marker most competitors can’t claim.
