Nordic defence and dual-use companies listing roles in drones, satellite systems, autonomous airships, embedded electronics and uncrewed maritime systems.
The Nordics have a useful mix of companies working on unmanned systems and space: airships, counter-drone RF systems, cargo UAS, nanosatellites, hyperspectral satellites, ice protection for drones, embedded electronics and autonomous vessels.
This list is for candidates who want to find specific companies rather than read a broad market overview. We checked each company against its official careers page on June 30, 2026, then summarized the open roles in practical candidate categories.
