Job Description
Mission
Every month, drones injure and kill thousands of Ukrainians. Munin builds point-defense systems to stop them. Our first product is a hand-launched micro-missile designed to intercept small drones at close range. It is 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 are hiring a founding mechanical engineer. You will take over from the CEO as the primary hardware engineer with end-to-end ownership of all mechanical systems.
You will start in the English countryside, living with the team of 6 next to our workshop and test site. After a few months, you will relocate to Kyiv to work directly with the Ukrainian military and scale production using front-line feedback. You will not operate near front-line areas, and you will work from Ukraine only while the security situation remains stable.
What you will do
Iterate on missiles and launchers, including actuation, human interfaces, safety systems, and warheads
Build new systems from concept through production
Test hardware aggressively
Work closely with computer vision, electronics, and controls engineers
Scale the mechanical team
Requirements
Significant hands-on experience building mechanical systems
You’ve shipped physical systems under time pressure
Strong CAD and 3D printing skills
High personal drive and tolerance for long, intense work periods
Comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end without much supervision
Nice to have
Startup experience
Experience with DFM, electronics, firmware, aerodynamics, or computer vision
Serious personal engineering projects outside work or university
Military background
Credibility
In four months, we went from concept to a robust missile prototype that is smaller and cheaper than any missile, can be fired with one hand, and reliably intercepts 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
Six launches in a single day, with design iterations between each launch
