Collaborate with development teams to improve infrastructure automation and efficiency
Support and maintain production and staging environments, ensuring uptime and resilience

Our take

In the realm of digital engineering, industries like aerospace, defense, and manufacturing face significant challenges. Traditional methods lof designing, testing, and certifiying complex systems are often time-consuming, costly, and environmentally tacxing. These processes typically require physical prototypes and extensive real-world testing, leading to delays and increased resource consumption.

Istari is transforming this landscape by developing aplatform that enables the creation, testing, and certification of technologies entirely in the digital real. Its advanced digital twin technology allows for virtual simulations and modeling, reducing the need for physical prototypes. This approach not only accelerates development timelines but also minimized costs and environmental impact.

Its making major progress too, including the $19M contract with the US Air Force to help develop the world's first digitally certified aircraft. While the use of digital twins in military applications (especially with potential links to autonomous systems) can raise valid ethical concerns, Istari's focus is on safety, precision, and reducing the need for real-world testing that can be risky or wasteful. By improving how complex systems are designed and certifies, its aiming to make engineering across industries more efficient and sustainable.
