Naval sonar, combat systems and mine countermeasures for navies worldwide
TKMS ATLAS ELEKTRONIK builds underwater acoustics, sensor suites and command systems for submarines and surface combatants. Its stack pairs embedded C++/RTOS work with model-based systems engineering (SysML, MagicDraw, IBM DOORS), signaling a requirements-driven defense engineering culture. Accelerating, engineering-dominated hiring centers on reference architectures, CI/CD optimization and new test systems, while Broadcom/VMware adoption points to ongoing infrastructure change.
TKMS ATLAS ELEKTRONIK is a Bremen-based maritime defense technology company founded in 1902, with 1,001–5,000 employees.
