Rheinmetall Tech Stack
Defense contractor supplying systems and components for military and civilian markets
Rheinmetall is a 135-year-old German defense and industrial technology group with 10,000+ employees across manufacturing, engineering, and logistics. The hiring surge—885 roles posted in the last 30 days—is heavily weighted toward engineering (792 open positions) and manufacturing (342), paired with aggressive mid-level hiring. Active projects span military vehicle development, F-35 fuselage production, and digitalization initiatives; pain points center on material availability, production optimization, and supply chain risk. The tech stack migration—moving to SAP S/4HANA, adopting OpenStack, FPGA, Terraform, and endpoint security tooling—signals modernization of legacy ERP and infrastructure-as-code practices in a regulated, hardware-intensive environment.
