Technology Intelligence Analyst

We are key players in the Defense sector. Building military vessels, with increasingly challenging performance, in increasingly complex scenarios, is more challenging today than ever. We have been doing this for over 230 years, during which we have delivered over 2,000 vessels. These are true jewels of high technology, designed and built for the Italian Navy, numerous foreign navies, and other government agencies.

Thanks to the rich heritage of experience and excellence acquired over time, Fincantieri is the partner of choice for numerous international contractors, to whom we provide complete ship systems and logistical support.

We are one of the few operators capable of designing and building a broad and comprehensive product portfolio: from surface combatants to auxiliary and special vessels, all the way to submarines.

This function oversees the analysis of relevant technologies for the naval and defense sectors, with the aim of anticipating technological developments, identifying competitive gaps, and generating strategic insights to support the Group's planning, product development, and technology investment decisions.
