Job Summary
Location: UK and Ukraine
Mission
Every month drones injure and kill thousands of Ukrainians. Munin builds point-defense systems to stop that. Our first product is a hand-launched micro-missile designed to intercept small drones at close range. It is small enough to carry three in a vest and cheap enough for mass deployment. Our goal is to change the battlefield in Ukraine through high-volume production then deliver proven systems to NATO.
Role summary
We are hiring a Founding Aerospace Controls/Firmware Engineer. You will be responsible for the flight control algorithms and control firmware that gets the missile on target.
You will start in the English countryside living with the team of 6 next to our workshop and test site. After a few months you will relocate to Kyiv to work directly with the Ukrainian military and scale production using front-line feedback. You will not operate near front-line areas and you will work from Ukraine only while the security situation remains stable.
What you will do
Refine implement in firmware and test control algorithms in live fire tests
Develop detonation and safety logic
Guide flight controller development and integrate sensors
Guide design of aerodynamics surfaces
Use simulation selectively where it accelerates learning but prioritize real-world testing
Integrate seeker and flight controls
Requirements
Significant hands-on experience building firmware and implementing control algorithms on physical systems
Experience shipping real systems under time pressure
High personal drive and tolerance for long intense work periods
Comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end
Nice to have
Startup experience or fast-paced R&D experience
Experience with CAD electronics or computer vision
Serious engineering projects outside work or university
Military background
Track record
We have contracts with the Norwegian and UK four months we went from concept to a robust missile prototype that is smaller and cheaper than anything comparable can be fired with one hand and reliably intercepts FPV drones.
Recent work includes
Working with the Ukrainian armed forces to go from pre-idea to warhead design production and live-fire testing in 24 hours
Car-mounted missile testing at 200 km/h
Building an air cannon in two days then destructively testing 50 missiles to diagnose a hardware issue
Six launches in a single day with design iterations between each launch
Apply
Our team is from the Special Forces Stanford 1X Imperial College FLIR student engineering teams and non traditional paths. What we share is the ability to build real systems fast take ownership and work toward a safer Europe. If this sounds interesting apply through the link.
