LIG Nex1 said Tuesday it will conduct a large-scale open recruitment drive for the first half of 2026.
Applications opened Tuesday and will be accepted through March 18 via the company’s recruitment website.
Openings include missile systems, electronic warfare, radar, maritime, unmanned and robotics, electro-optical and information convergence, satellites and AI, the company said.
The hiring will cover a range of roles, including R&D positions in hardware, software and mechanical engineering, as well as domestic and overseas business management, quality management and corporate support. The company expects to hire at least a three-digit number of employees.
Detailed job descriptions by field are available in the “Recruiting Book” on the recruitment website.
Candidates who pass an online AI competency assessment and document screening will move to a software coding test (for software roles), followed by job-specific interviews and then a leadership interview before final selection.
With public interest rising in South Korea’s defense industry, LIG Nex1 said it will also hold campus recruiting at 31 universities nationwide.
The company said about 60% of its workforce is engaged in R&D. As of February, it had 5,748 employees, up 1,204 over two years, a 26% increase, and was named a “Top Job-Creating Company” by the Labor Ministry for a third consecutive year.
A company official said the large-scale hiring is aimed at strengthening competitiveness across the rapidly advancing defense industry and encouraged interest from talent expected to lead future growth businesses.
