Occam Industries develops software-only autonomy, notably the OccamX computer-vision autopilot, that retrofits mass-produced drones for frontline, GPS-independent autonomous operations.
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold">Hardware / Platform Engineer — Occam Industries</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Kyiv, Full-Time</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Occam Industries applies AI to Ukraine's drone fleet, flying on live combat missions. We are partnered with some of the major OEMs and brigades in Ukraine and our AI is also deployed on EU platforms. We were built on a simple premise: deterrence is proven in the field, not built in a laboratory. We're hiring engineers who want their work tested by reality, not a simulator.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">We're looking for a hardware / platform engineer to build the layer that sits between drone hardware and our software. Ukraine's fleet spans a huge range of sensors and airframes, evolving constantly under real operational pressure — your job is to standardise that chaos: configuring multiple sensor types to our software and normalising their output so our AI can scale across hardware platforms without being rebuilt each time. This isn't an abstract integrations role — you'll work directly with physical platforms, alongside our flight test team, to get new hardware onto the fleet fast. You will communicate directly with OEM R&D and engineering teams an influence platform design across the frontline and in the EU. Every airframe and sensor you bring online expands what our AI can fly, and how quickly it reaches the frontline.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>What we're looking for:</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Strong systems / embedded software engineering fundamentals</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Experience integrating diverse sensors and hardware into a common software interface</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Comfort working close to the metal — firmware, drivers, hardware quirks — not just clean abstractions</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A willingness to get hands dirty — this is not a desk-only job</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Bilingual English / Ukrainian is a bonus but not necessary</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>What you get:</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Top-of-market compensation plus equity</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Work that ships to combat within days, not years</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">We are able to discuss reservations for critical candidates with significant experience</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Interview process:</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Typically a four stage interview process that will complete within one to two weeks.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Offer conditional on background check by security services.</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">We are well funded by EU governments and defence primes.
