Strong Middle/Senior Embedded Engineer

Kyiv/Lviv

​

Our client is a Ukrainian manufacturer of autonomous deep-strike UAVs and tactical strike drones. In close cooperation with combat units and local manufacturers, the company develops a family of tactical UAVs designed for rapid deployment of innovations and maintaining technological superiority on the battlefield.

Due to company growth, we are looking for a Strong Middle/Senior Embedded Engineer — a technical leader who can combine deep expertise in embedded systems with strong system-level thinking and the ability to organize and guide a team through complex technical challenges. Experience with UAVs is a strong advantage but not mandatory; solid engineering skills, a systems mindset, and the ability to provide technical leadership are key.

Key Responsibilities

  • Defining embedded system architecture and key technical decisions (MCUs, sensors, radio modules, peripherals).

  • Participating in prototyping of new devices and R&D experiments.

  • Development and optimization of firmware: bare-metal, RTOS, and Linux-based systems.

  • Integration and testing of control modules, communication protocols, and sensor systems.

  • Establishing development standards: code reviews, integration testing, CI/CD.

  • Working with diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter).

  • Collaborating with the product team and contributing to key technical decisions related to performance, power consumption, and reliability.

  • Participation in the development of flight control systems, communication modules, and communication protocols (telemetry, RC, video/data links), including integration with ArduPilot, Betaflight, and PX4

Requirements

  • 3–5+ years of experience in embedded development.

  • Strong proficiency in C/C++; Python knowledge is a plus.

  • Hands-on experience with bare-metal, RTOS, and Linux environments.

  • Deep understanding of UART, SPI, I2C, USB, and MIPI protocols; CAN or Ethernet knowledge is a plus.

  • Experience working with wireless SoCs (BLE, Wi-Fi) or RF modules.

  • Hardware-related skills: schematic reading, analog and digital electronics.

  • Ability to work with single-board computers (Raspberry Pi, Jetson, etc.).

Nice to have

  • Experience working with any type of UAV: fixed-wing, FPV, or bomber drones.

  • Knowledge of ArduPilot, Betaflight, PX4, or INav.

  • Experience in real-time domains such as automotive or safety-critical systems.

  • Knowledge of RF communications, mesh networks, and video/data links.

We Offer

  • Participation in high-tech projects that contribute to strengthening the country’s defence capabilities.

  • A collaborative engineering environment that values innovation and initiative.

  • Military service deferment (subject to valid and up-to-date military registration documents).

  • Opportunity to obtain company stock options.
