Good to know:

The Air & Missile Defense Systems Division is a center of excellence for developing some of the world’s most advanced integrated air defense systems, protecting against a wide range of threats including aircraft, missiles, helicopters, and UAVs across land, air, and naval domains.

The systems are based on an innovative, modular, network-centric architecture that enables flexible deployment of system components across different sites, with multiple interceptor capabilities optimized according to the operational situation.

Following extensive testing campaigns involving dozens of launches, these systems have demonstrated proven operational capabilities.

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of advanced air defense technology, combining systems engineering, simulation, performance analysis, and algorithm development to improve mission-critical defense capabilities.
