Location: UK and Kyiv
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 computer vision engineer. You will be responsible for pipelines that detect russian drones across battlefield conditions.
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
* Own the real-time vision system for detecting small drones, working with other CV engineers
* Data collection and pipeline iteration using self-collected and battlefield data
* Work with soldiers to define requirements
* Deliver perception under tight compute, power, and latency limits
* Integrate perception into guidance and control systems
Requirements
* Significant hands-on experience building deployed computer vision pipelines
* You’ve shipped 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
* Experience with, electronics, firmware, control or mechanical design
* Serious personal engineering projects outside work or university
* Military background
Credibility
In 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
