Defense and homeland security systems for critical infrastructure and tactical communications
MER Group operates across homeland security, communication infrastructure, and defense communications for governments and critical-infrastructure operators. The hiring mix—weighted toward engineering and finance leadership—combined with pain points around budget overruns, profitability, and global financial reporting, suggests the company is managing complex, multi-region project delivery while tightening operational controls. Tech stack is enterprise Microsoft (365, Azure, Intune, Configuration Manager), typical of large defense contractors managing security-sensitive ops.
