Drone Engineer

Why we exist:

Swarmer develops software that makes drones autonomous and allows them to operate together, in large, coordinated teams — no pilots needed. Our technology has been battle-tested in Ukraine— the world’s most intense proving ground for drone warfare.

In March 2026, we became the first Ukrainian defense startup to go public on NASDAQ, following a $15M Series A — the largest investment in a Ukrainian defense tech company since the start of the war.

Working at Swarmer means operating at the intersection of engineering rigor and frontline reality. The problems and environments are complex, and the stakes are very real. We built this software to enable democratic nations to defend themselves.

If you are motivated by building resilient systems that matter and by seeing the direct impact of your work, you’ll find purpose here.

What we’re looking for:

We are looking for a Drone Engineer to integrate, configure, and maintain UAV platforms for deployment with our autonomy software. This role blends hands-on drone preparation and field support with close collaboration with R&D to validate and improve next-generation autonomy on real systems.

What you’ll do:

• Perform precise soldering and wiring of electronic components
• Assemble UAVs, including installation and replacement of modules
• Repair and upgrade existing UAV platforms to improve performance and reliability
• Collaborate with engineers on new designs and modernization of UAV systems

What we need:

• Hands-on experience in assembly, soldering, and testing of UAV circuits and modules
• Good understanding of UAV systems (preferably multirotor platforms)
• Knowledge of circuit design and electronic components (DIP & SMD), with strong soldering skills
• Attention to detail and responsibility in hardware work
• Proactive and improvement-driven mindset — you don’t just fix, you optimize
• Ability to adapt quickly in a dynamic R&D environment with evolving designs
• Willingness to work on-site from our Warsaw office
• Confident English (B2 or higher)

What you’ll get:

• Direct impact: see the systems you test flying in combat and saving lives
• Exposure to multiple domains: hardware, autonomy, operations
• Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package (insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off per year)
• Flexible remote work options where possible

How’s the hiring process going:

✔️ Intro Call with TA Specialist → ✔️ Tech Interview → ✔️ Test Day → ✔️ Final Interview → ✔️ Offer

Please note that, as a leading defense tech company, we take operations security seriously and may need to perform additional background checks as part of our hiring process. We will do so in accordance with all applicable EU laws and regulations and safeguard your data in the process.
