About
Senra Systems is a Cypress, California-based software-driven wire harness manufacturer serving the U.S. aerospace and defense industrial base 123. Founded by CEO Jordan Black (a SpaceX veteran) and co-founder Benjamin Shanahan, the company combines a proprietary software platform (Amp) with automation and skilled technicians to standardize what has historically been a manual, paper-driven process across the industry 12. Senra currently produces around 1,000 wire harnesses per month across two factories and has publicly stated a goal of reaching 10,000 per month by 2027 1. Customers include aerospace and defense programs where wire harnesses serve as the electrical cabling backbone of rockets, aircraft, and vehicles 12.
