Executive Summary
As demand for Epiq Solutions’ mission-critical RF and embedded computing technology grew, so did the need for specialist talent.
Epiq first partnered with Luneus to fill a high volume of difficult engineering roles. After 24 hires in 12 months and 96% retention, the relationship developed into a long-term Talent-as-a-Service (TaaS) partnership.
Luneus became an extension of Epiq’s team, combining dedicated hiring support with specialist defense and space market knowledge.
The partnership gave Epiq the hiring capability to keep growing. In August 2026, TTM Technologies announced its proposed acquisition of Epiq for approximately $1.1 billion.

Client Background
Epiq Solutions develops open-architecture software-defined radios, RF products and embedded computing technology for government, defense and commercial customers.
Its technology supports mission-critical applications across land, air, sea and space, including signals intelligence, electronic warfare, communications and unmanned systems.
As Epiq expanded its products and markets, it needed specialist engineering, technical, operational and leadership talent to match that growth.

The Challenge
Growing customer demand and a broader product range created an ongoing need for specialist talent.
People with the right mix of RF, FPGA, embedded software, electronics, manufacturing and defense experience were difficult to find, especially through traditional job advertising.
High volumes of unsuitable resumes also put pressure on Epiq’s HR team and slowed hiring decisions.
Luneus cleared the initial backlog, filling eight priority roles in three months and making 24 hires in the first year.
As Epiq continued to grow, it needed more than project support. It needed a scalable hiring partner that could flex with the business.

The Solution
Following the first project, Epiq moved to Luneus’ TaaS model.
Luneus worked as an extension of Epiq’s internal team, adding dedicated hiring capacity and sector expertise without increasing permanent recruitment headcount.
The partnership included:
- Role qualification and hiring manager support
- Market mapping and passive outreach
- Candidate screening and summaries
- Salary, talent and competitor insight
- Pipeline and hiring activity management
- Job description and employer messaging support
Epiq gained access to Luneus’ established defense and space network and a repeatable hiring process that could scale across the business.
Instead of relying on several transactional agencies, Epiq had one partner that understood its technology, culture and long-term goals.
