Leonardo, 17,000 Stem and cyber hires planned over the next three years

The aerospace sector requires investment, industrial vision and above all skills capable of supporting an advanced technological ecosystem, integrating highly specialised engineering, digital and manufacturing profiles.

To strengthen this heritage, Leonardo - which has around 63 thousand employees and has hired almost 20 thousand people in the last three years - continues to invest in people as a central lever of growth and innovation, with a further 17 thousand hires planned over the next three years, mostly in the Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics. ndr)

The professional opportunities are part of major programmes, with technology projects ranging from Earth observation to space missions, from advanced electronics to avionics systems and digital security solutions.

"Over the last three years we have launched numerous initiatives to attract talent and strategic skills to support the various businesses, strengthening our orientation towards the Stem disciplines and developing programmes for young people with high potential in collaboration with universities and international business schools," emphasises Antonio Liotti, Leonardo's Chief People & Organisation Officer. In a context of increasingly complex and interconnected threats, human capital is the real competitive advantage: this is why we are expanding initiatives to attract and train advanced skills, consolidating the Group's ability to innovate and compete in the long term".

Demand focuses on engineers from various fields and specialists in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data analysis, advanced simulation, sensor technology, innovative materials, as well as mathematicians and physicists engaged in the development of algorithms, simulations and solutions for complex systems.
