Lirith was founded in 2026 to address the most underserved link in the American drone supply chain. While flight controllers, radios, and GPS modules had domestic alternatives, electronic speed controllers remained almost entirely dependent on Chinese manufacturers. Our team brings together decades of experience in ruggedized electronics, defense manufacturing, and drone systems to close that gap.
US drone manufacturers are building the aircraft the Department of Defense will fly for the next two decades. The components inside those aircraft determine whether those programs are delivered on time, to spec, and in compliance with the law.
Lirith's mission is to make the electronic speed controller a solved problem for every American drone OEM — sovereign in origin, documented in provenance, engineered for the field, and available in the volumes production programs need.
We build the piece of the drone that has to just work, so the companies building the aircraft can focus on what's above and around it.
Every component source is chosen deliberately. Compliance documentation is a product feature, not a sales afterthought.
We build for temperature, vibration, humidity, and sustained throttle. The bench test is where design starts, not where it ends.
Open documentation, honest integration guidance, and direct access to the people who designed the hardware.
The DoD industrial base is moving now. We ship samples, revise fast, and ramp production to match our customers' programs.
Lirith's manufacturing capability is domestic, vertically coordinated, and designed to scale with our customers. We control the processes that matter — SMT assembly, conformal coating, electrical test, and quality inspection — so every board that ships carries the same specification, traceability, and reliability profile.
Lot-level traceability. Domestic sourcing documented on every BOM. A manufacturing floor that can be audited by the customers and agencies that need to audit it.
We're hiring across hardware engineering, firmware, manufacturing operations, and program management. If you want to work on an American defense hardware problem with real urgency and real customers, reach out.
