We are a MilTech recruitment agency rooted in the Ukrainian defence tech reality. We place UAV, electronic warfare, robotics and secure-communications engineers with Ukrainian manufacturers, defence startups and international partners building with Ukraine. Tell us what you are building.
Why MilTech hiring is different
Ukrainian miltech runs on a development loop no other defence market has. A design change can reach the front line, collect feedback and come back for revision within a fortnight, so the sector selects hard for engineers who ship, measure and iterate rather than document and wait. Screening here means testing for that speed, not for comfort with a ten-year procurement cycle.
The scale behind it is real. Ukraine took delivery of around three million FPV drones in 2025, built about 100,000 interceptor drones in the same year, and more than 3,000 companies now work inside the Brave1 defence tech ecosystem, most of which did not exist before 2022. The bottleneck is people: mobilisation shapes who is available and where they can work, electronic warfare rewrites requirements from month to month, and engineers who have shipped under those conditions are scarce, guarded and almost never on job boards.

What Our Clients Say
Independently verified reviews from EchoGlobal clients on Clutch.
Where Ukrainian miltech talent sits
We recruit across Ukraine and the wider EU from offices in Lviv, Tallinn and London. Engineering hubs in Kyiv, Lviv and Dnipro hold teams that design, fly and revise systems against live electronic warfare every week. Investment has followed the results, growing from 5 million dollars in 2023 to 105 million dollars in 2025, and the sector recorded its first public exit when Swarmer listed on Nasdaq in March 2026.
The state has moved to keep this talent in place. Defence City, the special legal regime launched in January 2026, lets resident manufacturers reserve their employees from mobilisation, simplifies defence exports and removes sensitive company data from public registers. For hiring, that changes the conversation: reservation status is now part of the offer, and we help clients present it accurately. Salary levels and availability for the wider engineering market are covered in our Lviv and Kyiv reviews.
EchoGlobal OU is ISO 27001:2022 certified, and in this sector that is not a checkbox: programme names, client identities and candidate details stay confidential throughout a search.
