Swarmer develops autonomous drone software enabling large coordinated teams of unmanned systems to operate without pilots. The company became the first Ukrainian defense startup to go public on NASDAQ in March 2026 following a $15M Series A, and their technology has been battle-tested in real-world defense operations.
As a Field Integration Technician, you will deploy, configure, and troubleshoot advanced unmanned systems (aerial, ground, and surface vehicles) in field operations. You'll perform real-time software integration using platforms like Betaflight and ArduPilot, lead diagnostic efforts for hardware and firmware issues, and collaborate with engineering teams to validate performance and implement field-driven improvements.
Key responsibilities include: deploying and configuring unmanned systems across multiple platforms; performing system software integration and modifications; troubleshooting hardware, firmware, and software in dynamic field environments; writing and modifying scripts in Python and C++ for mission-specific automation; integrating automation algorithms into live systems; implementing and troubleshooting MAVLink communication protocols; and maintaining detailed documentation of field activities and configurations.
You should have proven experience with unmanned systems design, build, integration, and deployment; proficiency configuring flight controllers (ArduPilot, PX4); strong programming skills in automation and embedded development; hands-on MAVLink experience; familiarity with RF communications and sensor integration; deep understanding of embedded Linux systems and networking (netplan, iptables, systemd-networkd); experience with VPNs and secure remote access; knowledge of UAV hardware ecosystems including flight controllers, sensors, and communication systems; and experience with microcontrollers and hardware interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO). Background in electrical/mechanical engineering or computer science is advantageous but not required—equivalent field experience is preferred. The role requires 40% travel for field demonstrations.
