About Farsight Vision
Farsight Vision develops AI-powered geospatial intelligence solutions for defence and security operations. The platform transforms raw aerial and sensor data into real-time 3D environments, actionable analytics, and AI-assisted operational scenarios, enabling enhanced situational awareness, mission planning, and faster decision-making for both human operators and autonomous systems. We operate at the intersection of geospatial data, computer vision, and defense operations – and if that interests you, read on.
We are looking for a Mechanical/Electrical Engineer to own our modules end-to-end: from tweaking the first prototype to a design that is ready for production. This is not a role for someone who waits for a fully specified drawing package. You will take a requirement, turn it into working hardware, break it in testing, and make it better.
Responsibilities
• Build product prototypes, test them under real conditions, and iterate fast based on what the tests actually show, not what the model predicted
• Design adapter plates, mounts and interfaces that integrate our hardware with partner and third-party products, making sure they fit, hold, and survive field use
• Integrate robotics components (sensors, single-board computers, network equipment, batteries) into compact, reliable assemblies
• Select power supplies and electrical components, design and assemble cable harnesses, solder and crimp connections, and test and troubleshoot electrical systems
• Take designs from prototype to serial-production readiness: choose materials and manufacturing methods, simplify assembly, and remove what doesn't need to be there
• Prepare and maintain design and technical documentation that a manufacturer can build from without calling you every day
• Travel within Ukraine for testing, integration and work with manufacturers when the product needs you on site
Requirements
• 3+ years of experience in mechanical design of machine assemblies (from metal, plastic and rubber) and integration of electrical systems
• Deep understanding of strength of materials, joints, fasteners and connectors
• Hands-on experience integrating robotics components: sensors, single-board computers, network hardware, batteries
• Practical experience with 3D printing, casting, cutting and material processing
• Proficiency in SolidWorks and Altium Designer (or equivalent tools)
• Solid understanding of electrical schematics
• Practical experience designing and testing electrical circuits, soldering, assembling cable harnesses, crimping and electrical troubleshooting
• Experience working with design and technical documentation
• Ability to work on site in our office/workshop in Lviv and travel across Ukraine; valid military registration documents that allow you to travel freely
• Intermediate+ English
Nice to have
• Experience designing hardware for defence, UAV, UGV or other unmanned systems
• Experience preparing products for serial production with external manufacturers
• Startup experience, where you were the person who made the prototype work, not the one who wrote the spec for it
Security Eligibility
Our platform is actively used by the Armed Forces in live operations. As an Estonian-Ukrainian defence technology company handling sensitive operational data, we have a responsibility – legal, ethical, and practical – to ensure the integrity of everyone on our team.
All candidates must be able to confirm the following:
• Neither you nor your close relatives (parents, spouse, siblings, children) reside in Russia, Belarus, or temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.
• You have no regular personal, financial, business, or professional contact with individuals in those territories.
• You consent to a deeper security verification if the process advances to later stages.
If any of the above criteria are not met, please do not proceed with your application.
Why Farsight Vision
We are a startup operating under real-world conditions – our product is in active deployment, and the pace reflects that. The hardware you design goes to the Defense Forces, so "good enough for now" and "good enough for the field" are different standards. We need someone who solves the problem in front of them with what is available, learns new tools and methods as the product demands, and cares more about the result than the process around it.
Flexible working hours. Paid vacation and sick leave. Direct access to founders and leadership.
