Recruitment Announcement
Hyundai Rotem, a defense and rail manufacturer, has announced its first recruitment drive specifically targeting its aerospace sector. The applications for 14 open positions opened on August 24 and will remain accessible through the company’s careers page until September 20. Candidates will undergo aptitude tests and interviews before final selections.
The job openings encompass various propulsion technologies such as ducted ramjet engines, hypersonic engines used in guided missile systems, and methane engines. Hyundai Rotem is also establishing test facilities for these systems. Detailed job descriptions can be found on the company’s recruitment website.
To attract prospective candidates, Hyundai Rotem plans to conduct recruitment briefings this month at leading universities and research labs. The roles align with already existing programs in collaboration with state-run defense research agencies. The company is actively developing ducted ramjet and hypersonic technology for guided weapon systems, alongside a high-performance methane engine for Korea’s reusable-launch-vehicle initiative.
Hyundai Rotem’s aerospace endeavors gained traction as it established a dedicated space mobility team and rebranded its defense division to “AD” for Aerospace and Defense. In March, the company signed an investment agreement to create a production and R&D complex in North Jeolla Province and Muju County by 2034, with an investment of approximately 300 billion won (about $204 million).
A company official emphasized the significance of the aerospace business, stating, “Our aerospace business reaching toward the sky and space is a cradle of advanced technology innovation.” The objective is to recruit talented individuals who can drive the future of aerospace technology and enhance the domestic industrial ecosystem.
