Hungarian defence tech is concentrated almost entirely in Budapest, with a specialisation in radar and electronic warfare that dates back decades. Pro Patria Electronics builds portable ground surveillance radars used by NATO armed forces, BHE Bonn Hungary Electronics develops radar, SIGINT and microwave systems, and Sagax Communications and Carinex work in adjacent electronic warfare and communications niches.
Beyond the radar cluster, companies hiring include Rotors & Cams (industrial and defence drones, Budapest), Axoflow (security data pipelines, Budapest), Continest (rapidly deployable container infrastructure used at NATO exercises) and Gamma Technical Corporation (CBRN reconnaissance and protection systems, Budapest). Hardware and electronics engineering roles dominate the openings we track.
Hungarian is the default working language at the established manufacturers, though software and drone companies increasingly work in English. EU and EEA citizens can work freely. Non-EU nationals typically need an employer-sponsored single permit for work and residence.
