Engineering services for marine defense and critical infrastructure systems
The GBS Group is a systems engineering firm serving defense and commercial maritime customers, with deep expertise in control systems, software integration, and reliability engineering for naval vessels and complex industrial assets. The tech stack reflects their domain: heavy on industrial controls (Allen-Bradley, Siemens PLCs, Wonderware, FactoryTalk), CAD tools (AutoCAD, Inventor), and legacy system languages (C/C++, Visual Basic, MATLAB). Active projects center on shipboard control systems upgrades and submarine availability, while pain points cluster around legacy steam systems and CAD standardization — typical challenges for organizations modernizing decades-old platforms.
The GBS Group provides engineering and software services to the defense, passenger rail, energy, and construction sectors, with particular focus on large marine and naval assets. Their core capabilities span reliability engineering, controls and automation, systems integration, and remote monitoring — applied to problems like shipboard control system modernization, locomotive equipment monitoring, and submarine platform upgrades. Based in Virginia Beach with 51–200 employees, the company operates primarily across U.S. government and commercial maritime customers. The majority of their active hiring is engineering-focused, reflecting ongoing project delivery and system development work.
Industrial controls (Allen-Bradley, Siemens PLCs, Wonderware, FactoryTalk), CAD (AutoCAD, Inventor), databases (SQL Server, Neo4j), and development languages (C/C++, Python, C#, Java, MATLAB, LabVIEW).
