Defense and aerospace systems integrator expanding into enterprise critical-systems software
Atech is a subsidiary of Embraer operating as a defense and aerospace contractor with deep expertise in command-and-control, air-traffic management, and embedded systems. The company is now extending that expertise into the corporate sector through asset management, logistics, cybersecurity, and industrial IoT solutions. The tech stack—C, Java, Kubernetes, SysML, CORBA, and aerospace-grade tooling (TestLink, Robot Framework, UML)—reflects engineering maturity in complex systems; active projects centered on naval vessel integration and financial automation suggest a shift toward modernizing internal processes and expanding delivery velocity.
Atech was founded in 2009 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Embraer, the Brazilian aerospace manufacturer. Based in São Paulo, the company holds Strategic Defense Enterprise certification from Brazil's Ministry of Defense (issued 2013) and operates across three main domains: defense and security systems for the Brazilian government and regional partners; and since 2017, a commercial portfolio covering asset management, logistics, digital security, and connected systems for mid-market enterprise clients. The company employs 201–500 people and operates projects across Brazil, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Engineering represents the dominant function, with mid- to senior-level technical hiring focused on system integration, embedded systems, and automation.
Core languages: C, C++, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript. Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Azure, AWS WAF, Linux. Frameworks and tools: Vue, Jira, GitLab, SonarQube, Selenium, TestLink, UML, SysML, CORBA, Robot Framework. Database: PostgreSQL, SQL.
Projects span naval systems integration (Tamandaré-class frigate construction and CMS commissioning), air-traffic management (SISCEAB), financial process automation, CAPEX optimization, and external system interface integration. These reflect both defense delivery and internal operational modernization.
