The Czech Republic's defence industry includes the Czechoslovak Group (CSG), one of Central Europe's largest defence conglomerates. The country's defence tech startup positions are split between Prague and Brno, with a number of remote roles also available. Software is the dominant category, followed by hardware and systems engineering.
Companies hiring include ZAITRA (AI and computer vision for defence, Czech Republic), Dronetag (drone airspace management, Prague), TRL Space (satellite components, Brno) and Tropic Square (open-source secure chips, Prague). Software roles account for half of all openings.
Czech tech companies generally operate in English for technical roles, though Czech language skills are an advantage for roles involving local defence procurement. EU and EEA citizens can work without a permit. Non-EU nationals typically need an employer-sponsored Employee Card.
