The company provides a range of services to the US Department of Defense and other government agencies, including simulation-based training, operational test and evaluation, and technical support services. They are a mid-sized player in the defense services sector, with a significant presence in the US military training market.
Oak Grove Technologies does not have a known office presence in Spain.

Good to know if you are moving
- All roles are based in the US, primarily in San Antonio, Texas, requiring US citizenship or permanent residency for most defense-related positions.
- The company's work is heavily tied to US government contracts, so international candidates may face significant hurdles in obtaining necessary security clearances.
- There is no indication of visa sponsorship or relocation support for international hires.
- The company's focus is on US defense, so career growth for non-US professionals would be limited.
