Three Decades at Elbit Systems

Itamar serves as Manager, Automotive & Systems Engineering in the Land Division of Elbit Systems — one of the world's leading defense and aerospace companies, headquartered in Haifa.

In this role, he leads engineering teams designing and delivering land platforms — vehicles, propulsion, and integrated mechanical systems for both small and large platforms. He has guided complex programs from concept to high-quality, on-time delivery, often under uncompromising customer requirements.

  • Deep aerospace and defense engineering discipline
  • Hands-on familiarity with vehicles, propulsion, and integrated mechanical systems
  • Proven ability to lead complex multi-year programs from concept to delivery
  • A global supplier network built over decades of program management

Inside the company, Itamar is known as a true workhorse — the kind of engineer who gets things done, fast and on time. He is also a leader of engineers: he knows how to motivate teams, push them to deliver, and hold the bar where it needs to be. Hands-on yet strategic, he is comfortable both at the bolt level and at platform-architecture level.

What He Brings to Rozenman Industries

  • Engineering authority — defense-grade credibility for the group
  • Platform & systems expertise — vehicles, propulsion, complex assemblies
  • Project execution — turning ambition into shipped product
  • Global supply-chain knowledge — sourcing, negotiating, qualifying worldwide
