Most soldier systems companies operate in the local language for day-to-day work, with English common at firms with international teams or those selling across borders. Security clearance is typically employer-initiated and candidates generally do not need existing clearance to apply, though roles involving direct integration with national armed forces' personal equipment programmes are more likely to require it.
