Greece's defence industry includes Hellenic Defence Systems (EAS) and the country's naval shipbuilding sector. Tracked defence tech startup positions are concentrated in Athens, where the majority of hiring companies are based. Software roles lead, followed by hardware and systems engineering.
Companies hiring include Planetek Hellas (Earth observation and geospatial analytics, Athens) and Delian Alliance Industries (autonomous surveillance and drone interception, Athens). Software roles make up about half of openings. The space and geospatial sector accounts for the largest share of companies.
Greek is generally the working language, though technical roles at internationally-oriented firms may operate in English. EU and EEA citizens can work freely. Non-EU nationals typically need an employer-sponsored work permit. Greece's National Intelligence Service (EYP) manages security clearances for classified defence work.
