Description
The Estonian robotics and military machinery company Milrem Robotics has announced the recruitment of a hundred new employees.
New jobs were mostly created for engineers, software developers and support agents. The company’s main focus in 2024 will be on unmanned aerial vehicles for the defence forces systems, which is why most of the jobs to be created will be in software development.
The same business expansion took place a year ago in 2023 when Milrem employed a hundred new people, mostly due to increased demand in intelligent robotics systems production. This case can be accessed here.
Milrem Robotics operates in four countries - Estonia, Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands. The company's products are used in 16 countries, including eight NATO member states’ robotics programmes.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
