Founding Computer Vision Engineer

<p>Location: UK and Kyiv</p><p><br><br>The following information aims to provide potential candidates with a better understanding of the requirements for this role.<br></p><p><strong>Mission</strong></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Role summary</strong></p><p>We are hiring a founding computer vision engineer. You will be responsible for pipelines that detect russian drones across battlefield conditions.</p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What you will do</strong></p><ul><li>Own the real-time vision system for detecting small drones, working with other CV engineers</li><li>Data collection and pipeline iteration using self-collected and battlefield data</li><li>Work with soldiers to define requirements</li><li>Deliver perception under tight compute, power, and latency limits</li><li>Integrate perception into guidance and control systems</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Requirements</strong></p><ul><li>Significant hands-on experience building deployed computer vision pipelines</li><li>You’ve shipped systems under time pressure</li><li>High personal drive and tolerance for long, intense work periods</li><li>Comfortable owning ambiguous problems end-to-end</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Nice to have</strong></p><ul><li>Startup experience</li><li>Experience with, electronics, firmware, control or mechanical design</li><li>Serious personal engineering projects outside work or university</li><li>Military background</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Credibility</strong></p><p>In four months, we went from concept to a robust missile prototype that is smaller and cheaper than anything comparable, can be fired with one hand, and reliably intercepts FPV drones.</p><p>Recent work includes</p><ul><li>Working with the Ukrainian armed forces to go from pre-idea to warhead design, production, and live-fire testing in 24 hours</li><li>Car-mounted missile testing at 200 km/h</li><li>Building an air cannon in two days, then destructively testing 50 missiles to diagnose a hardware issue</li><li>Six launches in a single day, with design iterations between each launch</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Apply</strong></p><p>Our team is from the Special Forces, Stanford, 1X, Imperial College, FLIR, student engineering teams and non-traditional paths. xwzovoh What we share is the ability to build real systems fast, take ownership and work toward a safer Europe.</p><p></p><p>If you want to build something that matters, fill out this form: </p><p><strong>
