Swarmer is a Vendor-Agnostic Autonomy for Coordinated Robots. We develop AI-managed collaborative autonomy to make teams of connected drones and autonomous systems smart, efficient, and self-improving over time.
ROLE OVERVIEW:
We are looking for a Robotics & Autonomy Engineer to design, develop, and optimize the core autonomy and perception systems powering our multi-vendor drone platform. You will work at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and embedded systems — ensuring our autonomous drones operate reliably and intelligently in the most demanding environments.
🚀 WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Develop algorithms for localization, path planning, and motion control of autonomous UAVs.
- Build and optimize real-time perception pipelines (vision, LiDAR, point clouds) for onboard systems.
- Integrate machine learning models into robotic platforms (TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV).
- Design and implement middleware and data handling (ROS, ZeroMQ) to support autonomy.
- Calibrate and test UAV payloads, robotic arms, and embedded controllers (STM32, ESP32, RaspberryPi).
- Collaborate with hardware and RF teams on advanced sensing technologies.
- Contribute to simulation and testing environments (Isaac Sim or similar).
- Mentor junior engineers and help shape autonomy best practices.
📌 WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
- 5+ years in robotics or autonomy engineering (UAVs, mobile robots, or robotic arms).
- Proficiency in C++ and Python on Linux.
- Solid grounding in linear algebra, control theory, probability, and numerical methods.
- Hands-on experience with computer vision and ML integration.
- Familiarity with embedded development and microcontrollers.
- Knowledge of RF/beamforming or interferometry a plus, not mandatory.
- Fluent Ukrainian and competent English (B2 or higher).
🌱 WE OFFER:
- A chance to shape the core autonomy and perception systems at the heart of Ukraine’s defense tech ecosystem and its international expansion.
- Direct impact in a high-stakes industry where your engineering decisions carry real-world consequences.
- Professional growth through hands-on work with advanced UAV technologies and exposure to international best practices in autonomy, CV, and ML.
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package (insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off per year).
- Benefits of the defense sector (reservation and related benefits).
- Flexible remote work options (possibility to commute to the office if needed is essential).
