Spain has a sizeable defence-technology base spanning software, secure communications, sensors, electronics, simulation, space imaging and shipbuilding. Indra and GMV account for much of the visible hiring, while Thales, Grupo Oesía, EME Group (Escribano), Navantia, Safran Electronics & Defense Spain, SATLANTIS, Helsing and CAE add specialist teams in Madrid, the Basque Country, Galicia, Andalusia and other engineering centres.
Many employers on this page also work in civil aerospace, transport, commercial technology or training, so not every vacancy is tied to a military programme. Roles on regulated or classified projects can impose nationality, residency, export-control or security-clearance conditions that an ordinary engineering position does not. Those constraints are employer- and project-specific; this collection never treats membership as evidence of visa sponsorship or eligibility.

- Do I need Spanish citizenship or a security clearance?
- Not for every role, but some projects restrict nationality, residency or access to controlled information and may require an existing or obtainable clearance.
