Overview

We build software that helps hardware teams quickly and clearly evaluate how a component (engine, battery, valve, etc.) or process (assembly line, manufacturing plant) performs. We prevent mistakes, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market. Our platform unifies industrial control with sensor data storage and automated post-processing, delivering an end-to-end operations and observability stack. To put it comparatively, take LabVIEW, InfluxDB, and Grafana, wrap them into a single package, add a bit of magic, and you get Synnax.

Emiliano Bonilla

Founder/CEO

Co-Founder & CEO at Synnax. I'm classically trained in Aerospace Engineering and have a passion for building and selling great software to improve the way teams develop hardware. I led a team in the development of data processing tools for the first launches of Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket, one of the few new-space companies to repeatedly reach orbit. I've also worked on automous electric vehicle prototypes and developed banking software for European startups.

Origins

During his time in industry, Emiliano witnessed outdated control software and bad data review processes lead to multi-million dollar failures of critical path hardware. Frustrated with proprietary file formats, slow data pipelines, and unintuitive, complex tools like LabVIEW, he set out to built a modern control and data processing stack for hardware. Patrick and Elham were Emiliano’s first beta testers on the University of Michigan’s student rocketry team. They played an essential role in early iterations of the product, giving feedback through experience gained during their internships at SpaceX, NASA JPL, and MIT’s Lincoln Labs. Over time, their conviction in the problem Synnax is solving and the quality of the product grew. In early 2024, they joined forces as co-founders.
