Drones kill and injure more than 5,000 Ukrainians per month—more than any other weapon. Munin is on a mission to stop that.


We make hand-launched missiles to neutralize short-range air threats. Small enough to carry three in a tactical vest and affordable for all ground units, our micro-missile will be the smallest, most cost-effective guided missile ever deployed.


Our goal:Turn the tide of war in Ukraine and provide NATO with a proven solution to drone threats.


We are seeking aComputer Vision Engineerto join our founding team. You’ll develop and deploy real-time vision algorithms on edge hardware to track fast-moving aerial targets. Your work will include sensor and board selection, data collection, and implementing efficient classical CV techniques to meet extreme performance and size constraints.


Responsibilities:

  • Develop and optimize real-time optical detection and tracking algorithms.
  • Deploy vision algorithms on edge hardware for low-latency performance.
  • Design and execute data collection processes to train and validate CV models.
  • Select and integrate sensors, processors, and IMUs.
  • Collaborate with a team to ensure seamless integration into the missile system.


Required Qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience with classical computer vision methods and edge deployment.
  • Experience with fast optical tracking and real-time systems.
  • Understanding of sensor and hardware platform selection.
  • Previous experience in data collection for CV applications.
  • Willingness to work from the UK.


Bonus Qualifications:

  • Experience with missile, UAV, or aerospace systems.
  • Knowledge of embedded systems and hardware optimization.
  • Experience deploying solutions on FPGAs
  • Willingness to work in safe areas of Ukraine.
