Mission
Every month, drones injure and kill thousands of Ukrainians. Munin builds point-defense systems to stop them. 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 very high-volume production, then deliver proven systems to NATO.
Role summary
We are hiring a founding mechanical engineer. You will take over from the CEO as the primary hardware engineer with end-to-end ownership of all mechanical systems.
You should expect to relocate to Kyiv soon after joining and work mostly from there, with some time in the UK. In Kyiv you will 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.

In four months, we went from concept to a robust missile prototype that is smaller and cheaper than any missile, 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
