Drones kill and injure more than 5,000 Ukrainians per month—more than any other weapon. Our client is on a mission to stop that.
They make hand-launched missiles to neutralize short-range air threats. Small enough to carry three in a tactical vest and affordable for all ground units, our micro-missile will be the smallest, most cost-effective guided missile ever deployed.
Their goal: Turn the tide of war in Ukraine and provide NATO with a proven solution to drone threats.
We are looking for a Aerospace/Controls Engineer to join the founding team. You will develop and test algorithms for our counter-UAS mini-missiles, working on SWIL, HWIL, and aerodynamic design. They want a systems thinker with the resourcefulness to achieve what others believe impossible within compressed timelines.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and refine control algorithms for missile guidance.
* Contribute to aerodynamic design and optimization of fins and body.
* Integrate and tune servos, sensors, and the flight controller.
* Test and validate systems using SWIL and HWIL simulations and real-world trials.
Required Qualifications
* Hands-on experience developing control algorithms, preferably for missiles, UAVs, or other airborne systems.
* Proficiency in control theory, aerodynamics, trajectory optimization, and real-time systems.
* System-level thinker with the ability to meet tight constraints.
* Willingness to work from the UK.
* High sense of urgency and adaptability in fast-paced environments.
Preferred Qualifications
* Electrical engineering or computer vision experience.
* Willing to work in safe areas of Ukraine.
* Passion for Ukraine’s defense.
* Experience in startups or rapid R&D.
* Interest in rocketry or missile systems.
Why Join them?
* Impact: Build technology to protect lives and change the course of war.
* Ownership: Shape the core algorithms for an innovative product.
* Purpose: Collaborate with a passionate team delivering frontline solutions.
* Compensation: Competitive salary and stock options (0-2%).
