Machine Learning Engineer
We are a British—Ukrainian air defence tech company building distributed systems across the frontline. We are looking for a Research Engineer to join the team working on detection, classification, and localization problems in the radio frequencies domain. This is a hands-on R&D role with substantial ownership: you will work with raw field data, develop algorithms and ML/CV/DSP approaches, implement ideas from research papers, and take solutions all the way to deployment on edge systems.
Our core value is impact for Ukraine: we build technology that makes a real difference on the battlefield, not in labs or on paper specs. We operate with a deep-tech mindset, pushing new technologies where engineering rigor truly matters. We value ownership and responsibility—people who execute, deliver, and stand behind the results.
What you’ll do
- Own parts of the edge inference pipeline: filtering, detection, classification, localization, and related logic
- Analyze real-world data, identify failure modes, and improve algorithms
- Develop ML/CV and classical algorithmic approaches
- Research, reproduce, and adapt relevant papers
- Design experiments and evaluation methodology
- Organize and participate in field data collection and testing
- Build tools for data analysis, visualization, filtering, and labeling
- Optimize algorithms and models for edge deployment
- Work with engineers to integrate and validate solutions in production
- Use agentic workflows to accelerate research, coding, and experimentation
Requirements
- Strong foundations in linear algebra, probability, and statistics
- Strong Python and general software engineering skills
- Strong background in ML, CV, signal processing, applied math, or a related field
- Ability to independently investigate technical problems, implement research ideas and turn prototypes into reliable production code
- Experience with modern AI-assisted and agentic engineering workflows
- English: B1 or higher (international team)
Nice to have
- Radio Frequencies, Edge ML, embedded inference, robotics, or real-time CV
- Detection, tracking, localization, sensor fusion, or time-series processing
- C/C++ and performance optimization
- DefenseTech, SigInt, or embedded systems experience
- Active learning or continuous dataset improvement workflows
We offer
- Meaningful and high-impact work in air defense company
- Ownership of difficult technical problems from research to field deployment
- Practical R&D with direct access to real data and testing
- Strong influence on technical decisions and product direction
- Experienced senior engineering team with minimal bureaucracy
- Remote, hybrid, or office-based full-time work in Kyiv
