Electronic warfare systems and passive radar design for defense
EHSİM designs and manufactures electronic warfare and passive radar systems for Turkey's defense sector as a joint venture between two major defense contractors (ASELSAN and HAVELSAN). The tech stack reflects a mature hardware-software integration practice: VHDL/Verilog for digital design, CATIA/Solidworks for mechanical engineering, MATLAB/Simulink for signal processing, and Polarion/IBM DOORS for requirements traceability—typical of defense programs with strict certification paths. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering roles at manager and senior levels, paired with pain points around design version control and legacy hardware maintenance, suggesting they are scaling to modernize internal tooling and accelerate delivery cycles.
EHSİM was founded in 1998 to develop and produce electronic warfare systems, passive radar platforms, and related simulators. Operating as a partnership between ASELSAN (50% stake) and HAVELSAN (49% stake, with SSTEK holding 1%), the company serves Turkish defense and national security customers. The organization spans 201–500 employees based in Ankara and operates integrated logistics support alongside product development. Current project scope includes electronic warfare algorithm development, passive radar system design, and simulator platforms, supported by ERP modernization and process automation initiatives across procurement and human resources functions.
EHSİM uses VHDL and Verilog for digital logic design, MATLAB and Simulink for algorithm development and signal processing, CATIA and Solidworks for mechanical design, and IBM DOORS and Polarion for requirements and design documentation across electronic warfare and passive radar projects.
EHSİM is jointly owned by ASELSAN (50%), HAVELSAN (49%), and SSTEK (1%). It was established in 1998 as a partnership between Turkey's leading defense contractors to focus on electronic warfare and passive radar system development.
