Space Systems Integration provides systems engineering and technical acquisition support to intelligence and defense customers designing, developing, and acquiring aircraft and space systems. Founded in 2005, the firm operates in the high-stakes domain of defense procurement and platform development, where requirements clarity, integration discipline, and risk management directly impact fielded capability.
The firm's work centers on systems engineering and integration consulting - the connective tissue between capability needs and technical implementation. This covers aircraft systems design, space systems design, development strategy, and acquisition support. Staff average over 20 years of experience in their technical fields, with 90% of technical staff holding advanced degrees in engineering. The team includes engineers who performed hands-on development work before moving into consulting and leadership roles, providing grounding in actual implementation constraints rather than purely theoretical frameworks.
Leadership includes principals Tobin Anthony and Chris Costello, who took formal roles in 2009. The firm has grown by adding highly qualified individuals with strong technical backgrounds rather than through acquisition or rapid scaling. Stated values emphasize integrity, commitment, and respect - operational signals that matter in environments where technical credibility and straightforward communication determine contract renewals and customer trust.
