Description
About the company
A Ukrainian defence-tech company building autonomous robotics technology — a modular onboard operating system that powers navigation, mission control, and application management for drones and uncrewed vehicles. Its open architecture integrates with third-party sensors and payloads, scaling from a single drone to entire fleets while ensuring reliable, safe operation in demanding environments.
Skills
Building embedded Linux systems with Buildroot, Yocto, or similar frameworks
Linux kernel configuration, device trees, and hardware driver enablement
Cross-compilation toolchains for ARM or RISC-V processors
Over-the-air update systems and A/B partition schemes
Cryptography fundamentals — digital signatures, encryption, certificates, key management
Linux security frameworks, particularly SELinux policy development
Strong shell scripting (Bash) in production environments
Container technologies (Docker, containerd) at the system level — not just as a user
Working with vendor hardware docs and integrating proprietary components into reproducible builds
Nice to have
Drone, robotics, or safety-critical embedded systems experience
TPM (Trusted Platform Module) hardware security
CI/CD pipelines for embedded firmware — e.g. Jenkins
Additional details
Location:
Kyiv only
Work format
:
Mostly remote, with occasional visits to the office in central Kyiv
Schedule: 40 hours per week, typical working hours
Commute: The company covers taxi rides to the office until “critical business” status is granted
