We’re thrilled to welcome Raivis Rengelis to Skudo OÜ as our new Principal RF Systems Architect! 💥 Raivis brings a rare blend of deep technical mastery in RF design, HAM licence YL3LS, decades of hands-on R&D experience, and a sharp eye for real-world problem solving — especially in SDR, defense tech, and challenging radio communications. Known in the Baltic tech community for his straightforward mindset, hardcore engineering skills, and unshakable calm, Raivis has built systems that work in the harshest conditions — from mission-critical radio front-ends to high-performance embedded designs. His reputation as a “go-to” engineer for challenges others shy away from is well earned. At Skudo OÜ, Raivis will lead the architecture and development of a next-generation SDR-based system that pushes the limits of what’s possible in secure, high-performance RF applications. Details will follow in due time but let’s just say it’s bold, dual-use, and something we can’t wait to show the world. Welcome aboard, Raivis Rengelis. We’re honoured to have you 🖖 #SkudoTech #FPGA #RFengineering #SDR #DefenseTech #R&D #SecureComms #DeepTech #WelcomeToTheTeam

Innovative hardware-based protection for secure data communication
About us
Skudo is dedicated to creating innovative best-in-class solutions that protect data exchange with the highest level of security and privacy. We envision a world where all digital communications are safe and private, where all data are exchanged without being intercepted or hacked. Our goal is to create a technology that ubiquitously allows every data link between parties to be protected, private, and 100% safe. To ensure the highest level of safety we have hand-picked the very best open encryption technologies and created our own world-class solution for end-to-end encryption, based on a fully European-made custom encryption chip. Our solutions are based on two pillars: 1) a hardware encryption chip (HSM) developed as IPcores for an FPGA chip (we can sell the full functional chip or just the licenses to the IPcores) and 2) a software stack that integrates specific data protocols for specific verticals (CCSDS for space and MAVlink for drones)

We’re thrilled to welcome Liilia Kärner to our team as our Summer Engineering Intern! Over the summer Liilia will lead a hands-on project to build an embedded data-logging system for our prototype small-scale rocket: • Hardware assembly & sensor integration – soldering a Raspberry Pi Zero flight stack with pressure, 6DOF IMU, GNSS and temperature sensors. • Core Python firmware – writing robust real-time code to capture every byte of telemetry from launch to landing. • Post-flight analytics – delivering scripts and dashboards that turn raw data into engineering insight. This internship spans the full product lifecycle—from bench to blast-off—giving Liilia end-to-end ownership and the chance to see her code literally take off. Please join us in congratulating Liilia Kärner! #SkudoTech #RocketTelemetry #EmbeddedSystems #STEMinternships #SpaceEngineering #FPGA

We are very happy to be able to contribute in two challenging projects under the European Defense Fund (EDF) umbrella.
UAV - Cyber COM, Dual use, Hardware-based cryptography (custom HSM/FPGA) for drones, Satellites, DefenceTech, and mission-critical applications
Skudo Awarded Two European Defence Fund Grants! We're pleased to announce that Skudo has been selected for two prestigious European Defence Fund (EDF) grants, reinforcing our commitment to advancing European cybersecurity and space technology capabilities. HSM4COM Project (EDF 2023) €3M Investment | Satellite Communication Security As part of an international consortium coordinated by Miltech Hellas, we're developing advanced security solutions for small satellite data transmission. This project addresses the growing need for robust cybersecurity in space communications infrastructure. The work has just started with a Kick-Off in Athens. SIGMA Project (EDF 2024) €5.8M Investment | Space Integrated system for GNSS Monitoring and Analysis Working alongside M3 Systems (France, Coordinator), Latitude (France), and EnduroSat (Bulgaria), we're developing a satellite-based system to detect and characterize GNSS jamming and spoofing threats. The project will deploy RF signal analyzers on satellite platforms to monitor Earth's surface for positioning system disruptions. Selected under EDF's competitive non-thematic SME development actions, SIGMA represents a 24-month effort to demonstrate real-world operational capabilities in space-based threat detection. These grants reflect the European Commission's continued investment in collaborative defense innovation, with €1 billion allocated across 62 new EDF projects in 2024. For Skudo, they validate our technical expertise in critical security domains and strengthen our role in European defense technology development. Both projects exemplify the cross-border collaboration that drives European technological sovereignty, combining expertise from Estonia, France, Greece, and Bulgaria to address shared security challenges. #EDF2023 #EDF2024 #FPGA #Cybersec #HSM #TPM #Hardware #Skudo
