Advanced Systems & Software Engineering
Rubin Cybernetics, Inc. delivers specialized systems and reliability engineering consulting and intelligent software solutions to the aerospace, defense, oil & gas, and commercial industries — grounded in NASA, commercial, and DoD mission experience, while pushing the boundaries of AI-driven and quantum-algorithm-based development.
Services
We bring deep technical expertise to your most demanding systems challenges — from early concept through certification and mission operations.
Requirements management, detailed systems and software design, interface control documentation, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and technical baseline development for complex defense and aerospace programs.
Reliability analysis and modeling for new and existing systems — spanning hardware, software, and complex system-of-systems architectures. From early design reliability allocation through operational health monitoring, including Dynamic Fault Tree analysis, FMEA, Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs), and capacity degradation modeling.
NPR 7150.2, NASA-STD-8739.8, and software IV&V compliance planning, open-source software certification, software classification, and Software Engineering Handbook documentation support for NASA programs and contractors.
High-fidelity MATLAB/Simulink model development, verification & validation, hardware-in-the-loop test support, and analysis tool creation for engineering programs.
GN&C architecture, control law design and verification, Reaction Control System (RCS) thruster, reaction wheel, magnetorquer and CMG system analysis for spacecraft ranging from microsatellites to large platforms.
AI-driven anomaly detection, reliability determination, remaining useful life (RUL) estimation, and predictive maintenance algorithm development using advanced particle filter methods and the Wiener process.
Requirements and design documentation, Interfae Control Documents (ICDs), analysis reports, trade study documentation, and peer-review-grade technical writing for government deliverables and internal program records.
Software Products
Purpose-built software that turns time-consuming, error-prone engineering workflows into streamlined, auditable processes.
A structured, web-based compliance management tool built for NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 7150.2 Software Engineering Requirements and NASA-STD-8739.8 Software Assurance and Software Safety Standard. Eliminate spreadsheet chaos and audit your software classification, safety-criticality assessment, software process and product compliance, open-source approvals, and Software Engineering Handbook guidance entries in one place.
Cloud-hosted or locally-hosted sensor health monitoring, reliability analysis and remaining useful life (RUL) estimation dashboard powered by advanced particle filter algorithms and the Wiener process. Connect your sensor data to your existing control system and get real-time prognostic insights without building the infrastructure yourself.
The Adaptive Dynamic Fault Tree Analysis Tool brings Dynamic Fault Tree analysis into the operational domain — monitoring live system data and autonomously reconfiguring redundant resources as components degrade. Built on two novel DFT gate types developed at Rubin Cybernetics — the Capacity Gate and Preference Gate — ADAT moves fault analysis from post-incident forensics to real-time decision support. Originally developed as part of doctoral research at Texas Tech University.
Roadmap
MATLAB/Simulink toolboxes for GN&C rapid prototyping — attitude control, magnetorquer sizing, and Floquet analysis.
Where engineers learn to lead. PhD-level insight on managing complex programs, technical teams, and mission-critical organizations.
On-demand training courses in spacecraft attitude control, systems engineering fundamentals, and NASA software compliance.
Embedded senior systems engineering expertise on a retainer basis — for startups that need the judgment without the full-time hire.
