CSA Engineering was founded in November 1982 by three Ph.D. engineers who had been colleagues at a San Francisco Bay Area materials and engineering firm. Conor Johnson, Warren Gibson, and David Kienholz wanted to start a company where they could develop and apply their expertise in structural dynamics and related fields. They organized the new company around certain core values.

Currently, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moog, Inc. that operates as the Vibration Control Business Unit in the Space and Defense Group, our reputation is our most valuable asset.  Long-term customer relationships are emphasized and short-term gains de-emphasized.  Moog CSA seeks to be recognized for superior engineering capabilities, flexible response to customer requirements and the ability to tackle difficult multi-disciplinary challenges.
