Our starting point

People first, technology second

We work with civilian employers in the defence and security industry: manufacturers, system suppliers, technology consultants and subcontractors. Behind every assignment there are people – engineers, project managers, buyers, quality specialists and managers. We take the time to understand both the business and the person.

Many roles are in security-sensitive operations, which may require security clearance and Swedish citizenship.

Systems and software

Embedded systems, radar, sensors, simulation and test automation.

Production

CNC, assembly, welding, production engineering in series and prototype.
