Military aircraft, business jets, and space systems manufacturer
Dassault Aviation is migrating from legacy SAP ECC to S/4HANA while simultaneously implementing a new logistics platform — a dual infrastructure overhaul typical of large aerospace manufacturers stabilizing aging ERP footprints. The hiring mix (engineering, finance, manufacturing, HR, legal) and project backlog signal operational scaling: digital workplace modernization, careers platform rebuild, and front-office ATS renovation alongside core aircraft assembly work.
Dassault Aviation designs and manufactures military fighter aircraft, business jets, and space systems for defense and commercial markets. The company operates as the hub of a strategic industrial network spanning hundreds of suppliers across France and international markets. With 12,371 employees (78% based in France), Dassault has delivered over 10,000 aircraft to 90 countries, including the Rafale multirole fighter for air forces and navies, the nEUROn combat drone (European partnership), and the Falcon family of business jets. The company is also a core shareholder in Thales and the creator of CATIA, a 3D CAD/CAM platform adopted globally. Current operations encompass fighter development under the European FCAS (Future Combat Air System) program, specialized Falcon variants for maritime and medical missions, and ongoing assembly and logistics activities.
