Senior Robotics

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.

Location: Kyiv, Warsaw

ROLE OVERVIEW: 

We are looking for a Senior 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:

• On the high-level, you will be focused on the individual drone algorithms in the real battlefield conditions:

  • Develop new features in core tech domains (navigation / drone control / sensor fusion / photogrammetry / etc.).

  • Evolve existing algorithms to new challenges (new types of sensors, path planning with additional restrictions, etc.).

  • Adapt R&D algorithms to the product-ready solution (identify bottlenecks, handle edge cases in a smooth way, etc.)

  • Optimizations (processing time, consumption, data flow, etc.)

• It is expected that you will handle testfield tests for the owned features or will have a possibility to prepare local hardware setup and make the corresponding tests.

• You will be mostly focused on onboard autonomy on the companion computer (real-time, resource-constrained).

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• 3+ years in robotics or autonomy engineering (UAVs, mobile robots, or robotic arms).

• Proficiency in Python on Linux. Experience with embedded systems and C / C++ would be great.

• Solid grounding in linear algebra, control theory, probability, and numerical methods.

• Hands-on experience with algorithms.

• At least basic experience with electronics and photogrammetry or CV is a must.

• 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).

HOW'S THE HIRING PROCESS GOING:
