Job description

Job Description

Location: UK and Kyiv | Full-time | Competitive Salary plus 0–3% Equity

Drones kill and injure over 5,000 Ukrainians every month. Munin exists to stop that. We are building hand-launched micro-missiles to intercept small drones at short range. Small enough to carry three in a vest and cheap enough for wide use, this will be the smallest, most cost-effective guided missile ever deployed.

We work from a test site in the UK and in Kyiv, directly with Ukrainian brigades. Our goal is to turn the tide of war and give NATO a proven soldier-level counter-drone solution.

We are hiring an Aerospace and Controls Engineer to join our founding team.

You will lead the development of our control algorithms, from simulation to real-world testing. You will shape the aerodynamic design, integrate sensors and servos, and tune system performance in software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and live-fire environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and refine control algorithms for fin-guided flight

• Simulate and optimize aerodynamic surfaces

• Integrate sensors, servos, and flight controller hardware

• Build and run SWIL and HWIL setups

• Participate in field testing and rapid iteration

Requirements

• Experience building control systems for missiles, UAVs, or similar

• Strong in control theory, dynamics, real-time systems, and simulation

• Able to think at system level and work across disciplines

• of a NATO country or Ukraine

• Willing to work from the UK and Kyiv

• Comfortable with high speed, high uncertainty, and high stakes

Bonus

• Electrical engineering, embedded systems, or computer vision experience

• Startup or rapid R&D background

• Prior missile or rocket experience

Why Munin

• Impact: Build tech that saves lives

• Ownership: Lead controls for a new missile category

• Team: Join a mission-driven group from Stanford, Imperial, Rheinmetall, and special forces

• Benefits: Salary, 0–3% equity, housing, travel, and training support

This is not a research role. We are flying real hardware fast. If you are ready to build something that matters, apply.
