The company plans to hire talent for a variety of roles, including research and development positions in hardware, software, and mechanical engineering, as well as domestic and international business management, quality control, and business support. The number of hires is expected to reach at least three digits. Detailed job descriptions for each field are available in the "Recruiting Book" on the recruitment website.

The selection process includes an online AI competency assessment and document screening. For software applicants, a coding test will also be administered. Final candidates will be selected through interviews with field experts and leadership interviews for each sector.

With social interest in the Korean defense industry (K-Defense) on the rise, LIG Nex1 is also conducting campus recruiting at 31 universities nationwide to secure outstanding talent. This is part of a strategy to proactively recruit professionals who can respond to the advanced and sophisticated needs of the defense industry.

LIG Nex1 is an R&D-focused company, with research and development personnel accounting for approximately 60% of its total workforce. As of February 2026, the company had 5,748 employees, an increase of 1,204 over two years-a 26% rise. LIG Nex1 has also been selected for three consecutive years as a "Job Excellence Company" by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

In addition, the company supports employee autonomy and work-life balance through a variety of systems, including a flexible working hours policy, the "L-Fresh" leave program, and the family invitation "Family Day" event.

Through this open recruitment, LIG Nex1 aims to respond to the rapidly changing defense industry environment and actively foster core talent to drive future growth engines.
