Naval integrated navigation and tactical systems for warships and submarines
OSI Maritime Systems builds integrated navigation, bridge, and command-control systems for naval vessels—a 45-year-old Canadian defense contractor operating in one of the most regulated and safety-critical domains. The engineering-heavy hiring mix (28 of 40 open roles) paired with active work on greenfield products, ERP enhancements, and a lean manufacturing program suggests a company modernizing legacy systems while scaling production capacity. Pain points around obsolescence, system defects, and proposal delivery indicate the technical and operational friction typical of complex naval integration work.
