Defence Jobs in Poland

Poland's established defence industry is led by PGZ (Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa) and WB Group. Among the startups and specialist firms tracked on DefenceJobs, companies hiring include Creotech Instruments (satellite platforms, Piaseczno), IS-Wireless (5G/LTE communications, Piaseczno), Sybilla Technologies (space domain awareness, Bydgoszcz), Advanced Protection Systems (counter-drone systems, Gdynia) and Thorium Space Technology (satellite communications, Wroclaw). Software roles make up about 35% of openings, followed by operations and hardware engineering.

Many Polish defence tech companies operate partly in English for technical roles, though Polish language skills are generally expected for day-to-day work. EU and EEA citizens can work without a visa. Non-EU nationals typically need an employer-sponsored work permit. Security clearance for classified defence work is administered by the ABW (Internal Security Agency), with the employer initiating the process.
