UFORCE is a Defence Technology business that specializes in combat-proven unmanned systems for air, ground, and marine operations. Backed by Squadra Ventures.
About the role
We're looking for a US VP of Engineering to build and lead our US technical organization and bring UFORCE's battlefield-proven products to US defense customers. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A track record of delivering complex technical programs for US Department of Defense customers, with an understanding of defense acquisition, security, compliance and operational constraints
- Hands-on experience leading software deployments, systems integrations, troubleshooting and customer-facing technical engagements — and a willingness to do that work yourself while building the team
- Strong systems architecture judgment, including defining data and security boundaries and balancing customer-specific requirements with a common product platform
- Experience translating ITAR, cybersecurity and regulatory requirements into practical engineering architectures and operating practices
- A security-first approach to engineering, with documentation and compliance evidence built into delivery rather than added at the end
- Experience establishing engineering operating rhythms, roadmap priorities, review processes and delivery accountability in an evolving organization
More about this role
UFORCE exists to make aggression unaffordable.
Founded in Ukraine and headquartered in London, UFORCE is a defence-technology company with operations across Europe, the United States and Asia.
UFORCE builds uncrewed vessels, ground robotics and aircraft, autonomy software, and the command-and-control layer that operates them together.

We're looking for a US VP of Engineering to build and lead our US technical organization and bring UFORCE's battlefield-proven products to US defense customers.
You'll make our products work in a new operating environment — secure, compliant with US requirements, and ready to deploy and sustain — while keeping them connected to our global platform. Reporting to the US CEO and serving on the Global Technical Leadership Team, you'll partner closely with the Global CTO and Global Engineering to turn US customer needs into engineering priorities.
