GMV is a global technology company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain. It operates in sectors including space, defense, cybersecurity, intelligent transportation systems, and health. With over 3,000 employees worldwide and a presence in more than 10 countries, GMV is a leading player in the European space industry, contributing to flagship programs such as Galileo and Copernicus, as well as advanced ground segment systems and satellite control centers.

As one of Spain's largest engineering and technology firms, GMV offers extensive opportunities for international professionals, with a strong focus on space systems, embedded software, cybersecurity, and AI. The company is deeply embedded in Madrid's tech ecosystem and frequently collaborates with public and private clients across Europe. International hires will find a highly technical, engineering-led environment with opportunities to work on European Space Agency and government projects, and the company explicitly publishes roles in both English and Spanish, reflecting its international hiring appetite.

Company History

Founded in 1984 by three engineering students in Madrid, GMV initially focused on software development for the automotive industry. Over time, it expanded into space systems, defense, cybersecurity, and intelligent transport, becoming one of Europe's major engineering groups. It has since established offices worldwide, but maintains its Spanish roots and growth.

For International Professionals

  • GMV is a Spanish-founded company, so Spanish work contracts and social security apply; but due to the large size, they do handle visa and relocation support for international hires.
  • They frequently recruit in English for space sector roles, meaning English speakers can work without full Spanish fluency—though some Spanish is useful for day-to-day.
  • GMV has a strong presence in Madrid, with many roles concentrated in the Tres Cantos area, a science and tech park known for aerospace and defense companies.
  • International collar with European Space Agency (ESA) and EU projects provides unique exposure to top-tier space programs.
  • The company encourages flexibility with teleworking, but some roles (especially in defense/space) may require on-site presence for security clearance.
