Medical and safety technology manufacturer across 190+ countries
Dräger is a 135-year-old public manufacturer of medical devices and occupational safety equipment operating at enterprise scale (13,700+ employees globally). The tech stack reflects a maturing industrial operations footprint—SAP at the core, migrating from Dynamics NAV to Dynamics 365 Business Central for better financial control—with engineering simulation tools (MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, SolidWorks) and collaborative design platforms (Figma, Protopie) supporting product development. Hiring concentration in engineering and sales, paired with active projects in system installation and portfolio optimization, signals continued investment in operational modernization and go-to-market expansion.
