Top Tech Skills
When it comes to in-demand skills, aerospace and defense companies want tech professionals who have honed systems engineering, C++ (which is often used in embedded systems, for example), electrical engineering and software engineering.
Like most industries, software development also hits the top 10 in skills, as well as project management.

Top Employers
After winning considerable new government contracts earlier in the year, Northrop Grumman has unsurprisingly topped the charts for hiring so far in 2023.
Raytheon Technologies and BAE Systems, also winners of sizable government contracts, are near the top of the list. These companies together posted nearly three times as many tech job listings than the rest of the companies in the top 10 combined.
With increased government spending and signs of life among the greater hiring trends, there is room for optimism in aerospace and defense hiring.
