Munin dynamics

Mission
Drones injure and kill over 5,000 Ukrainians every month. We exist to stop that. We're building micro-missiles to intercept small drones at close range — small enough to carry three in a vest, launch by hand, and cheap enough for widespread use. This is about to be the smallest, most cost-effective guided missile ever deployed. Our goal is to win the war, before giving NATO a system that works.
 

Role summary
We're accepting interns on a rolling basis starting in August, with the aim of evaluating for a full-time role after the internship. You'll work from the UK and Ukraine, though you should expect the majority of your time to be spent in Ukraine. You will not operate near front-line areas, and work in Ukraine is conditional on a stable security situation. Duration: ~3 months.
 

Requirements
Experience with any of the following: 
- mechanical engineering 
- electrical/electronics engineering
- controls
- software engineering (especially computer vision)
-  building UXVs 
- business. 

And you should be comfortable building fast and getting your hands dirty, and driven by impact and mission.
 

Credibility
Areas of responsibility are matched to your skills. Previous interns have, in 2 days, built an air cannon and used it to debug one of our biggest issues; written key features of our guidance algorithms; implemented new sensors for better testing; set up live-fire tests; and driven a car around a track at 200 km/h as part of a test regime. This isn't a research role — we fly real systems fast. Our record is six launches in a day with system iterations between each test. If you're ready to build something that matters, we want to hear from you.

Mission
Every month, drones injure and kill thousands of Ukrainians. We build point-defense systems to stop them. Our first product is a hand-launched micro-missile designed to intercept small drones at close range. It's 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're hiring our first Hardware Technician. You'll work directly alongside the engineering team to build and iterate on prototypes, then help transition them as we scale to high-volume production. As the team grows, you'll help onboard and train the technicians around you.

Expect to relocate to Kyiv soon after joining and work mostly from there, with some time in the UK. You'll work alongside the founding engineering team and incorporate feedback from Ukrainian soldiers in the field. You will not operate near front-line areas. Work in Ukraine is conditional on a stable security situation.
 

What you'll do
• Build, test and iterate on prototypes alongside the engineering team
• Assemble, bring up and debug electronics and electromechanical systems
• Define and document build processes as designs stabilise
• Help transition prototypes into repeatable production
• Onboard and train technicians as the team scales
 

Requirements
• Hands-on experience assembling and debugging electromechanical systems
• Comfortable working from incomplete information and evolving designs
• Strong soldering and rework skills across PCB and mechanical assembly
• High personal drive and tolerance for fast-paced, intense work periods
• Owns problems end-to-end rather than waiting to be unblocked
 

Nice to have
• Speaks Ukrainian
• Experience in a prototyping or low-volume production environment
• Exposure to test-fixture design or build-process documentation
• Startup or early-stage company experience
• Personal engineering projects outside work or university
• Military or defence background
 

Credibility
In four months we went from concept to a robust missile prototype — smaller and cheaper than anything comparable, fireable with one hand, reliably intercepting 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; and six launches in a single day with design iterations between each.

Our team is from the Special Forces, Stanford, 1X, Imperial College, FLIR, student engineering teams and non-traditional paths. What we share is the ability to build real systems fast, take ownership and work toward a safer Europe.
