Military adversary training and electronic warfare operator with crewed and uncrewed fleet
Draken operates a specialized aviation training and test business focused on military adversary training, electronic warfare, and airworthiness evaluation across a mixed fleet of crewed and uncrewed aircraft. The tech stack is almost entirely Microsoft enterprise software (365, Project, SharePoint), reflecting an ops-heavy organization managing complex regulatory compliance, aircraft configuration, and mission-critical scheduling rather than software development. Hiring is concentrated in engineering and operations roles across senior/mid-level positions, with active projects spanning flight test, electronic warfare training, airworthiness certification, and obsolescence management—all pointing to a regulatory-first operational posture.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer, Crew Chief, Planning Lead
