Hyundai Rotem targets aerospace specialists in major hiring push

Hyundai Rotem, a defense and rail manufacturer, has launched a major hiring push targeting aerospace specialists, according to a report on Tuesday. This marks the first time the company has conducted a recruitment drive exclusively for its aerospace business. Applications for the new roles opened on August 24 and will remain open until September 20, as candidates can apply through the company's careers website.

The openings span a variety of aerospace positions, including those related to propulsion technologies such as ducted ramjet engines and hypersonic engines. These engines are crucial components of guided missile systems, while other roles focus on methane engines and test facilities for propulsion systems. Detailed job descriptions are available on Hyundai Rotem's recruitment website.

In an effort to attract top talent, Hyundai Rotem plans to complement the hiring push with outreach efforts. This includes recruitment briefings at research labs at major universities and graduate schools this month. The company's decision to hire aerospace specialists aligns with existing programs it has been running with state-run defense research bodies. These roles are advancing the development of ducted ramjet and hypersonic engine technology for guided weapons, as part of projects with defense research agencies.
