Overview
Senra Systems modernizes wire harness production for aerospace, defense, automotive, and industrial customers using software, automation, and its Amp platform. Wire harnesses connect power, data, and mission systems in aircraft, satellites, submarines, and vehicles — historically built entirely by hand. Founded by ex-SpaceX engineers Jordan Black and Benjamin Shanahan, Senra operates factories in California and raised $65M Series B in July 2026 co-led by Lowercarbon Capital and Interlagos, bringing total funding above $112M.
Why Senra Systems is interesting
Ex-SpaceX engineers automating a manual defense supply-chain bottleneck — $112M+ raised with a16z, Sequoia, and Founders Fund as Factory 2 scales 5X capacity.
Product & use cases
Senra's Amp platform digitizes harness design, production scheduling, and quality traceability while automated factory lines produce prototype-to-production wire harnesses for defense primes and aerospace OEMs.
- Aircraft and satellite wire harness production
- Defense land and maritime vehicle harness programs

Competitive landscape
Edge: Software-defined factory model that brought Factory 2 online in months — targeting 10X harness throughput vs manual shops.
Wire harnesses are a known defense industrial-base bottleneck with no software-native leader. Senra's bet is factory automation plus traceability software. Customer concentration in aerospace/defense creates long sales cycles but sticky contracts.
-
Legacy harness shops incumbent
Manual mom-and-pop and tier-2 suppliers dominate; slow lead times.
-
Defense prime internal shops adjacent
Boeing, Lockheed internal harness lines; Senra positions as outsourced capacity.
-
Anduril supply chain adjacent
Senra lists Anduril among customers; complementary defense manufacturing stack.
Notable stories
- Black and Shanahan left SpaceX to attack wire harness manufacturing — a manual bottleneck they saw repeatedly delay vehicle programs.
- Senra brought Factory 2 online within months of signing the lease, targeting growth from ~1,000 to ~10,000 harnesses per month.
