Naval defence shipbuilder designing submarines, surface ships and their systems
Naval Group designs, builds and supports submarines, surface ships and naval drones across their full lifecycle. Beyond CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE and IBM DOORS for engineering, the stack shows a software-platform push: Kubernetes, GitOps, MLOps, Rust, Go and Vault point to a modern DevOps foundation. Hiring is heavily engineering-led with a strong mid-to-senior skew, alongside work on AI integration and obsolescence management.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead, Software Lead, Technical Lead, Program Director, Security Department Head
