EMPLOYMENT TYPEFull-time
INDUSTRYDefense and Space Manufacturing
We are scaling Valkyrie Dynamics. We build miniature radar seekers for interceptor drones.
The hardware is working in the field. We are now expanding the core team.
We are hiring a Senior SW Engineer [Kyiv].
You will own the software that turns a sensor into a weapon. You will own the onboard stack that fuses the radar, talks to the flight controller, and closes the loop on the target. We expect clean code written fast and systems that hold together at 200 km/h.
What you will do:
- Own the onboard software stack that moves data in real time from the radar through target logic to the flight controller.
- Cut latency everywhere by profiling, rewriting, and stripping the stack until the loop closes in milliseconds on constrained compute.
- Design the interfaces between hardware, firmware, ML, and flight control so the system is one coherent product, not three projects bolted together.
- Build the ground and test tooling that lets the team replay what the drone saw and debug a failed intercept in minutes.
What we offer:
- Founding-level engineer equity and a solid base salary.
- Full relocation coverage and logistical support if you choose to join our lab in Kyiv. (Speaking Ukrainian is not required).
- An environment where your hardware goes from the bench to the test range in days, not months.
If you are tired of theory and want to ship real hardware, apply.
