Long-lived technical systems

Aerospace and Space Systems

Blobb works on software and compute in aerospace and space environments, not on mechanical or aeronautical engineering. The team understands the constraints and vocabulary without claiming domain engineering expertise.

The constraints that shape systems here

  • Real-time behavior and hardware-in-the-loop tests must be reproducible
  • Test bench software often outlives its original platform
  • Scientific and numerical computing has specialized performance profiles
  • Documentation and traceability are part of the system
  • Migration must preserve evidence as well as behavior

Where Blobb has worked in this sector

The founders’ prior work includes Airbus, embedded real-time systems, test environments, scientific computing, and migration of long-lived technical platforms.

Common findings

  • Critical knowledge exists outside versioned records
  • Test infrastructure cannot reproduce the production timing model
  • Platform age is confused with business risk
  • Migration plans omit traceability continuity

An independent assessment is often a useful first step; it can be a full architecture audit or a focused review. Related work includes legacy modernization, architecture, and the infrastructure audit.
