Full Job Description
WHY WE EXIST: Swarmer develops software that makes drones autonomous and allows them to operate together, in large, coordinated teams — no pilots needed. Our technology has been battle-tested in Ukraine— the world’s most intense proving ground for drone warfare. In March 2026, we became the first Ukrainian defense startup to go public on NASDAQ, following a $15M Series A — the largest investment in a Ukrainian defense tech company since the start of the war. Working at Swarmer means operating at the intersection of engineering rigor and frontline reality. The problems and environments are complex, and the stakes are very real. We built this software to enable democratic nations to defend themselves. If you are motivated by building resilient systems that matter and by seeing the direct impact of your work, you’ll find purpose here. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR: We're looking for a Lab Engineer to build and own the technical foundation of our physical lab. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust hardware and software test environments — ensuring the lab is scalable, reliable, and always ready to support critical firmware and device testing. This is a great role for someone who thrives on hands-on infrastructure work, takes full ownership of results, and brings a forward-thinking approach to lab operations. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Lab Infrastructure Design: Drive the design, architecture, and implementation of lab infrastructure from scratch, taking full ownership of the outcome and proposing optimal technical solutions - Environment Setup and Maintenance: Perform hands-on setup, configuration, optimization, and day-to-day maintenance of hardware and software test environments - Automation and Orchestration: Implement automation and orchestration solutions for hardware and software involved in lab operations, including CI/CD pipeline support and configuration management - Testing Pipeline Enablement: Work closely with test automation team to su
