Defense electronics and unmanned systems for U.S. military and homeland security
Elbit Systems of America manufactures embedded real-time control systems and defense electronics across military, homeland security, aviation, and medical markets. The tech stack reflects hardware-heavy engineering: FPGA, LabVIEW, PLC/HMI, and embedded C/C++, paired with enterprise Microsoft tooling (Azure, Intune, Visual Studio). Engineering dominates hiring (97 of 202 active roles), and active projects center on compliance, yield optimization, and qualification testing—hallmarks of a regulated manufacturer scaling production while managing supplier and quality friction.
