Defence Jobs in Latvia

Beyond drones, companies hiring include Mosphera (military electric scooters and light ground vehicles, Riga), SAF Tehnika (microwave and tactical communications, Riga) and Exonicus (trauma simulation for combat medicine training, Riga). Hardware and production roles make up a larger share of positions than in most other European markets, reflecting how much of the sector actually manufactures in Latvia.

Latvian is the official working language, though many engineering teams in Riga work in English, particularly in drone and software companies. EU and EEA citizens can work freely. Non-EU nationals typically need an employer-sponsored work permit.
