Opportunity
Develop analytical solutions that translate complex operational data into decisions that support mission readiness.
At ILIAS A&D BV, part of the ILIAS Group, you work within the Defense Capability Management unit. You design models and analytical solutions that support logistics, maintenance planning and operational performance.
You work with data from aircraft, naval systems and sensor driven environments. This includes use cases such as maintenance optimization, predictive insights and scenario simulation, where models directly support real world decisions.
Meaningful Work in a Mission Driven Environment
Your work supports systems that enable operational readiness. You develop models that help organizations plan, optimize and respond to real operational conditions.
Complex Challenges, Clear Solutions
You work with complex datasets that combine sensor data, operational inputs and system constraints. Data is often incomplete, fragmented or evolving, requiring structured thinking and strong modeling skills.
You design simulations, build optimization models and analyze time series data to support decisions in logistics, maintenance and operations.
The Impact You Help Create
You improve planning, increase asset availability and support better decision making. Your work helps organizations operate more efficiently in environments where timing and reliability matter.

About us
In defence operations, timing and reliable information shape every decision. Many organizations still rely on fragmented systems, limiting visibility and slowing execution. ILIAS Solutions connects logistics, maintenance, and operations into one integrated platform. This creates a single source of truth and enables teams to act on real time data across strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Large volumes of operational data move continuously between systems. This data reflects maintenance cycles, logistics flows, and asset readiness. Accuracy and consistency directly impact operational outcomes.
