Lynx

We were founded in 1988 and are a portfolio company of OceanSound Partners. We provide modular, open-standards software for high-assurance, mission-critical edge platforms. We apply these secure computing solutions in aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, energy, industrial, and space applications. We’ve expanded our capabilities in open-source and Linux-based development, aerospace and defense engineering, and certifiable safety-critical graphics, GPU compute, and AI at the edge through acquisitions of Timesys, Thompson Software Solutions, and CoreAVI.

Our main offerings include LYNX MOSA.ic, a modular operating environment that enables safe, secure, and deterministic systems to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single platform. We also offer Linux solutions for mission-critical edge applications, Managed Services for platform infrastructure and security, and professional Services for mission-critical avionics and spaceflight software engineering. Our solutions meet standards like DO-178C, ISO 26262, NIST 800-53, ARINC 653, and MIL-STD-1553.

Our technology powers critical systems like the Panoramic Cockpit Display and Integrated Core Processor, which saw a 25-fold performance increase. We’ve earned industry certifications, including the first DO-178 Design Assurance Level A certification on an Intel processor, the first SEAL certification for our hypervisor technology, and an FAA Reusable Software Component certificate for LynxOS-178. With over 20 years of embedded expertise, we’ve contributed to over 1,000 mission-critical projects worldwide, partnering with companies such as General Atomics for the Gray Eagle Extended Range UAS and Lockheed Martin for the F-35 Lightning II’s mission systems.

Our mission is to help create a “software-defined everything at the edge” world. We do this by building trusted partnerships that empower organizations to innovate and challenge existing norms. We want our customers to “Seize the Edge” by redefining what’s possible for complex, safety-critical, and cyber-resilient systems. We prioritize our customers and provide certifiable, safe, and secure solutions.

We are a remote-first company with 201-500 employees and offices in Campbell, CA; Fort Worth, TX; Pittsburgh, PA; Tampa, FL; and Waterloo, Ontario. Our culture is collaborative and inclusive, and we celebrate successes together. We offer mentorship and continuous learning opportunities, supporting diverse career paths within the organization, whether it’s moving from engineering to sales, operations, or leadership roles.
