Denmark's broader defence industry is anchored by Terma, a major electronics and aerospace contractor. On DefenceJobs, tracked positions are concentrated in northern Jutland, around Aalborg and Støvring, where two companies account for all current listings: GomSpace (nanosatellites) and Sky-Watch (the RQ-35 Heidrun fixed-wing mini-UAS for ISR missions).
GomSpace designs and manufactures nanosatellites and accounts for the majority of open positions, with roles spanning hardware engineering, software, business development and operations. Hardware and software roles together make up about half of all openings, with business development and operations filling out the rest.
Both companies post roles in English, making these positions accessible to international candidates. EU and EEA citizens can work without a permit. Non-EU nationals typically need an employer-sponsored work and residence permit, processed through the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI). Denmark's Fast-Track Scheme can reduce processing times to around one month for qualifying roles through certified employers.
