The stories of the employees who are part of Elbit’s story …
“While studying for my third
academic degree I started to feel that I wanted to apply
my knowledge and make an impact. I lacked the sense of
mission, and I wanted to contribute to the
country’s
security.”
Olga, Head of the Algorithms Team, ISTAR & EW Division
“I started working at Elbit about 9
years ago, on the recommendation of a good friend. I
wanted to apply my knowledge in physics and make a
difference.
At the time, I lacked a sense of mission and wanted to
contribute to national security. Now, my position at
Elbit definitely reflects those ambitions and
it’s very exciting to see our influence on the
final product. I can only say that these are excellent
systems.”
“There may be more flashy positions
out there. But when you are part of a project and at the
end of it, the IDF Chief of Staff says, “Well
done. Great job,” it’s an experience
on a completely different
level.”
Nir, Head of Client Infrastructure and Automation, C4I and Cyber Division
“My career at Elbit began just under a decade ago, as a developer on a team that created a unique system. The system ended up earning the Israel Defense Prize. From there I moved into the area of infrastructure, developing and leading a client team, which I currently head. Our job is to produce an infrastructure that will provide a basis for many varied products, which are marketed in Israel and abroad. On the one hand, it’s fascinating because I interface with several projects. On the other hand, it’s a lot of responsibility. There’s a difference between making something work well – and producing something that will be a basis for change, according to specific customer needs.”
"Since I started working at Elbit,
the scope of the company’s activity has
increased five-fold, and so has the complexity of the
projects.”
Liat, Senior Control Manager, Finance Department, Company Headquarters
“Elbit is a very dynamic company, constantly developing financially and on a business level. Since I started working here, the scope of the company’s activity increased five-fold. From sales of less than a billion dollars a year, the company has grown to volumes of over five billion – and with it, the complexity. Together with my team, we perform complex economic analysis and report to the company’s management and board of directors. Every project is an interesting new challenge in the decision-making processes at the key points.”
“We work on projects that bring
innovation and robotics into the soldier’s
environment.”
Yariv, Business Area Manager, Land & IMI Division
“My role is to provide solutions that reshape the battlefield. The technology of the pilot’s helmet is one of the solutions we brought tank commanders to enable them to conduct all combat from within the armored vehicle using the Iron Vision platform. Iron Vision connects them to the tank’s 360-degree peripheral cameras and observation in the field – so they can see everything happening around the tank without lifting their head out of the turret. As a company and battalion commander - I know just how fundamental this is.”
“Several years ago, I made a
professional change and wanted to create something
innovative and from scratch that would make a a wide
impact. During my first days at Elbit, I sketched out my
vision, and I didn’t stop until it became
real.”
Omer, Director, Head of Big Data & AI, Global Operations Division
“Three years ago, we established an innovative venture in the fields of Big Data and AI that connects the entire value chain under one product. This enables the inclusion, leveraging, automation, and management of unstructured data into a business asset. As engineers and technologists, we understood the need but searched for a differentiator. We created a common language for data, which is as complex as human language and contains not only words, but also the contexts between them. It was a crazy process beyond anything you could imagine – from presenting the idea and getting investment and management support, to recruiting a team that would lead the complete development of this transformative product.”
“After working on a platform for 6
years, it has recently been installed for testing on an
aircraft, and it's exciting to see things in
action.”
Dvir, Technical Manager and System Engineering Team Leader, Aerospace Division
“Information sharing between aircraft and ground systems is one of Elbit’s focuses. We spent a long period developing a connectivity system to enrich the operational capabilities of the pilot, and pull in and consider all the data required for mission optimization by everyone involved. This has recently moved into a comprehensive testing and experimentation phase on an aircraft. It’s exciting to finally see our work in action!”
