EMS Culture

Born of ingenuity, EMS Aviation* is a company where many boundaries have been broken and firsts achieved.  It is a place where innovation and cost consciousness are equally important, where creativity and discipline work hand-in-hand.  As the first to develop a commercial off-the-shelf airborne satellite-based communications system, the company has continued to grow and evolve and takes pride in its accomplishments.

Like many workplaces, EMS Aviation’s employees enjoy working hard and innovating, but they also have robust lives outside of work. The company fosters health and fitness and boasts a strong volunteer spirit. With an active social committee and a senior management team that is engaged, communication is a key ingredient in the company’s culture.

EMS Aviation values ingenuity and resourcefulness. Many of its employees have been with the company for more than 10 years—a testament to the challenging work undertaken and solutions delivered. Its communications products and technologies are sold into intriguing markets to some of the largest companies in the world.  There is a particular rush in creating systems for business and commercial jets that enable communications in-flight and military aircraft, enabling real-time video and surveillance. Once considered niche, the mobile satellite communications industry has grown, and along with it, EMS Aviation. 

As a small company we play on a large world wide stage with companies many times our size. People here have the opportunity to demonstrate initiative, leadership and growth in seeking new challenges.

There are many workplaces where “people make a difference,” there are few where innovations change the lives of so many—EMS Aviation is one of them. 

* EMS Aviation comprises the former aeronautical businesses, EMS SATCOM, EMS Formation and EMS Sky Connect.
