Elbit Systems is an Israeli defence electronics company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Haifa, and the largest privately owned defence contractor in the country. It supplies unmanned aircraft including the widely exported Hermes family, artillery systems such as the PULS rocket launcher, active protection for armoured vehicles, and the helmet-mounted display systems worn by pilots of the F-35 and other combat aircraft. The company has grown substantially through acquisition, including IMI Systems and the night vision business of Harris, and it derives most of its revenue from exports across Europe, Asia and the Americas rather than from its home market.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

38 of the 40 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does - a citizenship, a national security vetting, a US clearance - says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which companies hire most?

Elbit Systems (31), Kela (4), Thales Group (2), D-Fend Solutions (2), Leidos (1).

Which employers count as defence companies?

Companies whose main business is defence and security - prime contractors, defence electronics, naval, land and air systems, defence software and the defence tech startups - and the defence divisions of diversified groups. Companies of Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Iran and North Korea and companies under sanctions are left out.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
