Introducing New AVIASPACE Member: tenics

We are excited to welcome tenics, a cutting-edge software engineering company, as the newest member of the Aviaspace community. With a focus on aeronautics and space embedded systems, IoT, and more, tenics is dedicated to improving the software development process, making it more agile, dependable, and transparent for companies tackling complex engineering challenges.

Who is tenics?
Founded in 2021 by Dirk Roßkamp, tenics was born out of a desire to solve complex software challenges within the high-tech sector. After more than a decade of experience at OHB, where he served as a software engineer, software project manager and head of software, Dirk decided to venture out on his own, establishing tenics in Bremen. Initially a solo endeavor, the company quickly expanded to a team of four, driven by the mission to elevate software engineering standards in critical industries.
