Gilat Satellite Networks is a 35+ year-old provider of satellite communications hardware and software, serving defense, commercial, and mobility applications across multiple orbit types. The tech stack—dominated by enterprise tools (SAP, Azure, Power BI) and classical network infrastructure (IP/MPLS, SNMP, Linux)—reflects a hardware-centric, operations-heavy business. Active hiring across engineering, manufacturing, and ops (25 roles in the last 30 days, predominantly mid-level) signals scaling of production and delivery, while project focus on process systematization and R&D alignment points to internal complexity in coordinating satellite product lines and customer programs.
