Job VC
Integration Engineer
Technologies
Description
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’re looking for an
Integration Engineer (Hardware/Embedded)
. You will be responsible for the hardware composition of our products, their connectivity, and the integration of these with our software solutions. This is a great role for someone who has strong technical expertise, experience in embedded development, and a deep understanding of drone technologies and communication protocols.
What you’ll do:
Hardware Design and Development:
Design and develop hardware architectures for drone systems, including component selection, layout considerations, and system-level integration planning
Embedded Systems Development:
Develop and optimize embedded software for companion computers, microcontrollers, flight controllers, and other hardware components, ensuring efficient resource utilization and real-time performance
Prototyping and Testing:
Build and test hardware prototypes, conduct performance evaluations, and iterate on designs to meet product specifications and reliability standards
Manufacturing Support:
Collaborate with manufacturing teams to streamline production processes, develop assembly procedures, and ensure quality control throughout the manufacturing lifecycle
Vendor Collaboration:
Work directly with hardware vendors and suppliers to specify requirements, evaluate components, and oversee the integration of third-party hardware solutions
System Integration:
Bridge the gap between hardware capabilities and software requirements, ensuring seamless communication between embedded systems and higher-level autonomy software
Technical Documentation:
Create detailed technical specifications, hardware design documents, and integration guides for internal teams and external partners
Quality Assurance:
Implement rigorous testing protocols for hardware reliability, environmental durability, and compliance with industry standards and regulations
What we need:
Embedded Development Experience:
Hands-on experience with hardware, microcontrollers, and operating systems for embedded platforms is essential. Experience with Embedded Linux is a significant advantage.
Drone Technology Expertise:
Demonstrated experience with UAV technologies, including flight controllers, communication protocols (e.g., MAVLink), and autopilots (ArduPilot/PX4/etc).
Technical Proficiency:
Strong skills in Networking (OSI layers, firewalls, routing), Linux, Shell scripting, Docker, Python, and databases (SQL/NoSQL). Experience with C/C++ and IoT communication protocols is a plus. RF engineering knowledge is also advantageous.
Development Platform Knowledge:
Familiarity with platforms like Raspberry Pi and various flight controllers (e.g., Matek, OrangeCube) used in drone and embedded development.
Integration Experience:
Proven track record of planning, executing, and documenting complex system integrations, particularly involving both hardware and software components.
Communication Skills:
Ability to articulate technical concepts clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Problem-Solving Abilities:
Strong analytical skills, with a talent for diagnosing and resolving integration issues efficiently.
What you’ll get:
Work on meaningful products that protect lives and shape the future of Defense Tech.
Dynamic environment with the unique opportunity to directly influence and see the impact of your work.
Lean, ambitious, and strong team.
Competitive salary, benefits package (insurance, paid sick leaves, 20 paid days off per year).
Benefits of the defense sector (reservation and related benefits).
Flexible remote work options (possibility to commute to the office if needed is essential).
How’s the hiring process going:
✔️ Intro Call with TA Specialist → ✔️ Technical Interview (2 parts) → ✔️ Management Interview → ✔️ Security Check → ✔️ Offer
