Engineering partnership With founders building real systems
Eyehat Partners With founders To move from idea to first system — and from first system to scale.
Built on 14+ years in NewSpace and hardtech, including 12 at SpaceX across RF, DSP, sensors, GNC, embedded software, and tightly coupled electromechanical systems — Eyehat brings Systems-Level Acuity where early decisions matter most.
By reducing entropy early, scale does not amplify hidden risk.
Diligence, engineering, and architecture for zero-to-one.
Eyehat works alongside founders, investors, and technical teams to provide seminal 0-to-1 engineering work product and answer the questions that matter, early:
- Extensible engineering — solutions and work product built to operate without Eyehat, beyond initial prototype stages.
- Is this idea technically and commercially robust?
- Who is your foundational team, and how do we forecast its growth?
- What are you incepting, and what are we optimizing?
- What is zero-to-one, for you?
- What are we building first?
- Where do we slow down to move fast?
- What is the FOAK-to-NOAK trajectory for you?
The calculus is simple: build the right things, in the right order, with the right architecture.
From First-of-a-Kind to Repeatable Reality
Early systems are fragile by nature. The danger is not that they break — it’s that their failures are misunderstood.
Eyehat specializes in the space where:
- First-of-a-kind systems become real architectures
- High-risk assumptions are surfaced early
- Interface boundaries are made explicit
- Serial versus parallel work is sequenced correctly
Diligence, engineering, and judgment for zero-to-one.
Eyehat is led by Meharban Singh Sobti, who spent more than a decade within mission-critical aerospace and hard-tech programs.
This background enables:
- Engagement shaped to accelerate, not entrench — Eyehat operates as a peer, not a bottleneck.
- Early detection of hidden technical risk
- Efficient cooperation to facilitate optimal talent-mapping
- Grounded judgment on feasibility vs. ambition
- Translation between deeply technical teams and external stakeholders
- Identification of where and when to vertically integrate engineering and build activities
- A proven track record of connecting portfolio companies to primes and partners — helping secure business so founders can focus on building, not fundraising

TECHNICAL PILLARS
Full-Stack Engineering: Explicit system perspectives across tightly coupled domains.
Eyehat’s tactical operation across hardware–software systems ensures that early architectural decisions serve the ultimate goal: long-term scalability.
Core engineering focus areas include:
Digital Beamforming
Phased array architecture, efficient DSP, and IoT-informed signal intelligence for RF and non-RF applications.
Actuation Control Systems
Brushed and brushless control topologies, intuitive tuning methods, and tightly coupled electromechanical systems.
Sensor Topology
Signal-aware sensor architecture, Kalman filtering, and Software-Defined-Hardware (SDH) approaches to robust, adaptable sensing.
Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT)
Hybridized communications, ranging, and distributed timing systems informed by IoT-style architectures.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Implementation-aware DSP spanning communications, sensing, and control systems.
AI / ML Systems
Carefully scoped machine learning and AI that augment sound analytical foundations rather than replace them.
Each pillar reflects Eyehat’s core emphasis: architect early decisions so FOAK systems can scale cleanly to NOAK reality.
ENGINEERING COVERAGE MATRIX
A systems view — not isolated disciplines.
Eyehat’s work spans tightly coupled hardware and software domains across multiple stages of technical maturity.
Rather than treat disciplines in isolation, Eyehat evaluates how architecture, sensing, control, communications, and software interact across the full FOAK-to-NOAK lifecycle.
The matrix below provides a high-level view of where Eyehat most commonly engages.
