Hensoldt Eyes Hiring Auto Engineers That Are Losing Their Jobs

Hensoldt AG is looking to take on engineers from auto supplier Aumovio SE that’s cutting jobs to help boost its ranks as the defense boom gathers pace.

The radar and sensor maker is seeking to raise headcount by 1,600 people this year, which would boost its workforce by roughly a third over two years. Hensoldt wants to hire engineering, software and electronics specialists, it said Monday, forging an agreement with the auto parts maker to explore job transfers for sites in Germany, they said.
