Senior Hardware & Integration Engineer

About the Position

Edge Run is a Western hardware company that creates a power exoskeleton for Ukrainian frontline units. Currently, this is a system for supporting the lower back and pelvis.

Edge Run is opening its operational activities in Kyiv and is hiring its first hardware engineer-a person who will be responsible for the workstation, diagnostics, debugging, and technical readiness of each device that comes to the military.

This is one of the first key hires for the Ukrainian team. You will set up the laboratory, determine how Edge Run tests and diagnoses devices, and over time, you may become the technical support for a small engineering team in Kyiv.
