About the Role
Full-Time
Industries applies AI to Ukraine's drone fleet, flying on live combat missions. We
are partnered with some of the major OEMs and brigades in Ukraine and our AI is also
deployed on EU platforms. We were built on a simple premise: deterrence is proven in
the field, not built in a laboratory. We're hiring engineers who want their work tested by
reality, not a simulator.
We're looking for a hardware / platform engineer to build the layer that sits between
drone hardware and our software. Ukraine's fleet spans a huge range of sensors and
airframes, evolving constantly under real operational pressure — your job is to
standardise that chaos: configuring multiple sensor types to our software and
normalising their output so our AI can scale across hardware platforms without being
rebuilt each time.
This isn't an abstract integrations role — you'll work directly with physical platforms,
alongside our flight test team, to get new hardware onto the fleet fast. You will
communicate directly with OEM R&D and engineering teams, and influence platform
design across the frontline and in the EU. Every airframe and sensor you bring online
expands what our AI can fly, and how quickly it reaches the frontline.
What we're looking for:
● Strong systems / embedded software engineering fundamentals
● Experience integrating diverse sensors and hardware into a common software
interface
● Comfort working close to the metal — firmware, drivers, hardware quirks — not
just clean abstractions
● A willingness to get hands dirty — this is not a desk-only job
● Bilingual English / Ukrainian is a bonus but not necessary
What you get:
● Top-of-market compensation plus equity
● Work that ships to combat within days, not years
● We are able to discuss reservations for critical candidates with significant
experience
Interview process:
● Typically a four stage interview process that will complete within one to two
weeks.
● Offer conditional on background check by security services.
We are well funded by EU governments and defence primes. Based in Kyiv.
