Jobs at DefTech companies

About the role

Edge Tech Trade is building a dedicated Doodle Labs presence in Ukraine to support the rapid adoption of Doodle Labs Smart Radios across Ukrainian unmanned systems — UAVs, FPV platforms, UGVs, USVs, and tethered/ISR systems. As a Field Application & Sales Engineer, you will be the primary technical face of Doodle Labs in country: integrating radios into customer platforms, running field tests with operators, training units and OEM partners, troubleshooting RF and networking issues in the most demanding electronic-warfare environment in the world, and turning that ground-truth feedback into wins for the customer and product input for Doodle Labs HQ.

This is closer to a US-style Field Sales Engineer / Field Application Engineer than a traditional integration engineer: roughly half hands-on lab and field integration, half customer-facing technical sales support. You should be comfortable bench-testing a radio in the morning, flying integration tests with an OEM in the afternoon, and walking a brigade through link budgets and frequency planning the next day.

Key responsibilities

Customer integration & field engineering

• Integrate Doodle Labs Smart Radios (Helix, RM, Embedded, Mini-OEM families) into customer platforms — drones, ground robots, payloads, ground control stations, and repeater/relay nodes.
• Run on-site installations, configuration, and commissioning at OEM partners (e.g., drone manufacturers) and at military units across Ukraine.
• Conduct field tests and range trials: link budget validation, throughput / latency measurements, mesh behavior, video streaming performance, and EW-resilience testing in real operational conditions.
• Diagnose RF issues, jamming/interference patterns, and antenna problems on the ground; recommend fixes (antenna selection, placement, frequency plan, power settings, mesh topology).
• Build and maintain reference integrations and demo kits (radio + autopilot + companion computer + GCS) that the team can use for sales demos, customer training, and rapid prototyping.

Technical sales & customer success

• Act as the primary technical contact for Ukrainian customers — pre-sales scoping, architecture proposals, BOMs, and post-sales support.
• Translate customer requirements (range, payload, video bitrate, EW threat, regulatory band) into a Doodle Labs configuration: radio model, frequency band, antenna, power amplifier (e.g., 4W PA), and network topology.
• Train OEMs and end-users on radio configuration, the Doodle Labs Smart Radio Web UI / CLI, mesh setup, frequency planning, and basic RF troubleshooting.
• Represent Doodle Labs and Edge Tech Trade at Ukrainian defense-tech events (e.g., Brave1, Iron Demo Day) — booth demos, technical talks, customer meetings.
• Maintain a tight feedback loop with Doodle Labs HQ in the US: file structured bug reports, feature requests, and field reports; escalate critical issues; share competitive intelligence from the Ukrainian market.
   

Programs & ecosystem

• Support Ukrainian military codification of Doodle Labs radios — provide technical documentation, lab measurements, and on-site testing data; coordinate with the Edge Tech Trade resource managing the paperwork and government liaison.
• Investigate existing Smeela / NATO Stock Number subcodes via OEM partners (PG Robotics, Lucky Strike, Heavy Shot, etc.) to accelerate codification.
• Manage and grow the small Doodle Labs-owned demo and R&D inventory in country (low hundreds of units): allocations, traceability, RMA flow, and rapid fulfillment for priority customers.
• Coordinate with Doodle Labs HQ on sample shipments (radios, antennas, PAs), test plans, and joint engineering investigations.

Must-have qualifications

• Hands-on integration experience with wireless / RF systems: COFDM, LTE/5G, mesh radios, or similar IP-over-RF links. Direct experience with Doodle Labs, Silvus, Microhard, Persistent Systems, or comparable mesh radios is a strong plus.
• Solid RF fundamentals: link budgets, antennas (gain, polarization, MIMO), propagation, TX power vs. sensitivity, frequency planning, and basic spectrum analysis.
• Strong networking knowledge: IPv4/IPv6, routing, VLANs, multicast, latency/jitter for video, and how all of this behaves over a mesh.
• Experience integrating radios with unmanned platforms — autopilots (ArduPilot / PX4), MAVLink, RTSP/UDP video pipelines, gimbals, and companion computers (Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, x86 SBCs).
• Comfortable with Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) at the command line: serial/UART, SSH, networking config, firmware flashing, log analysis.
• Hands-on hardware skills: cabling, connectors (SMA/RP-SMA, MMCX, U.FL), basic soldering, multimeter / oscilloscope / spectrum analyzer / VNA usage at a working level.
• Strong troubleshooting instincts in the field — able to isolate whether a problem is RF, networking, autopilot, power, mechanical, or operator error, often under time pressure.
• Excellent technical communication in English (spoken and written) — you will be the bridge between Ukrainian customers and a US-based engineering team.
• Willingness and eligibility to travel frequently across Ukraine to military units, including to areas closer to the front (within reasonable safety constraints).

Nice to have

• Direct prior experience with Doodle Labs Smart Radios (Helix, RM-1700, RM-2450, Mini-OEM, Embedded) and the MN-MIMO mesh stack.
• Experience with Ukrainian defense-tech ecosystem: Brave1, Smeela / military codification process, Army+ procurement, "e-points" (formerly e-balls) unit purchasing system.
• Experience with EW-resistant designs: frequency hopping, narrow-band fallback, alternative bands (sub-GHz, 1.8 GHz, S-band, C-band), and field hardening against jamming.
• Experience with FPV and BVLOS operations, tethered drones, swarming, or counter-UAS systems.
• Familiarity with power amplifier integration (e.g., 4W PA modules), filters, and TX/RX chain design.
• DevOps / scripting skills (Python, Bash) for test automation, log parsing, and field telemetry tooling.
• Prior service or work with Ukrainian Armed Forces, GUR, SBU, or Special Operations Forces units.
• Public speaking / demo experience.
   

What we offer

• A senior, high-impact role at the intersection of cutting-edge wireless technology and the most operationally relevant defense-tech market in the world.
• Direct working relationship with Doodle Labs HQ in the US — your field reports shape product roadmap.
• Access to the latest Doodle Labs hardware and a fully-funded local lab and demo inventory.
• Backing of the Edge Tech Trade / Edge Solutions team — engineering support, BD coverage, and operational infrastructure.
• Competitive compensation aligned with senior Ukrainian defense-tech market rates; structure and band to be confirmed at offer stage.
• Travel covered. Equipment provided. Real ownership of customer outcomes.

Hiring process

• Initial screen with Edge Tech Trade 
• Technical interview with Doodle Labs— RF, networking, integration, and a field-scenario walkthrough.
• Reference checks and offer.

We are building category-defining military technologies that are shaping outcomes on the battlefield. The opportunity is massive - to define new product categories, scale them globally, and directly impact how modern warfare is conducted. 

We’re looking for a Senior Product Marketing Manager who takes ownership, moves fast, and delivers results. This is not a coordination role; you will own a product's direction and make it win in the market. 

Your Role 

You own the product–market fit and market success of a product cluster. 
 

Your focus: 

• Understand the market and the user - define what needs to be learned, work with the Research Team, and validate insights in the field 
• Define positioning and messaging - clearly answer why us, why now, and for whom 
• Ensure what we build, describe, and sell is one consistent and accurate story across Product, Sales, and external stakeholders 
• Drive go-to-market and distribution - ensure the product reaches the right buyers and users and scales 
• Measure and improve - track what works, fix what doesn’t, and iterate fast 

Your day-to-day 

• Work with Product, Sales, and R&D to shape what we build and why 
• Talk to users and buyers to understand real-world usage and needs 
• Turn product capabilities into clear, compelling narratives that drive understanding and action 
• Own the substance of all product- and industry-related marketing content 
• Develop core product materials (e.g. briefs, decks, demo assets) to support internal alignment and external communication 
• Enable Sales with clear positioning, messaging, and materials that support real deals 
• Analyze performance, demand, and competition to identify opportunities 
• Lead cross-functional initiatives across Product, Sales, Research, and Ops 
   

Your Skills and Experience 

• 5+ years in product marketing, product strategy, or similar roles

Sales Engineering role – Full Time – Hybrid (Kyiv/Warsaw)

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 Field Applications Engineer with a strong embedded systems background who can operate comfortably across customer-facing technical sales, technical communications, and hands-on engineering support.

This role is ideal for someone who can bridge engineering depth with clear customer communication and help articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

What you’ll do:

• Support pre-sales technical engagements with customers and partners
• Answer technical customer questions during evaluations, procurement, and integration discussions
• Translate customer requirements into clear technical recommendations and solutions
• Develop technical materials and written responses for proposals, grant applications, customer documentation, and partner communications
• Work closely with engineering and product teams to accurately communicate product capabilities and limitations
• Assist with hardware setup, integration, and field support when needed
• Represent the company in customer meetings, industry events, and technical discussions

What we need:

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• 3+ years of experience in a technical pre-sales, solutions engineering, or FAE role
• Strong embedded systems background, including firmware/hardware integration
• Comfortable working with PCB hardware, embedded devices, and drone systems
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to explain complex technical topics clearly and concisely
• Confident, extroverted, and comfortable interacting directly with customers and partners
• Strong technical writing skills, including the ability to contribute to proposals, grant applications, and customer-facing technical documentation
• Practical, hands-on mindset; effective in both lab and field environments

Would be an advantage:

• Experience with drones, robotics, RF systems, or edge AI platforms
• Familiarity with Linux-based embedded systems
• Experience supporting enterprise, defense, or government customers
• Exposure to wireless communications, telemetry, or autonomous systems
• Experience contributing to technical proposals, SBIRs, grants, or RFP responses

Working Model & Travel:

For this role, close collaboration with engineering, product, and integration teams is essential.

• Location: Kyiv or Warsaw
• Work model: Hybrid role (mandatory requirement)

Travel is a significant part of the role. Candidates should expect up to ~50% travel

What you’ll get:

• Your work ships fast and gets used. Direct operational feedback from frontline users in weeks, not years
• A fast-paced environment with minimal bureaucracy and no “process for the sake of process”
• Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package (insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off per year, military reservation, corporate lunches in the office)
• Flexible hybrid work
