Top defence tech job openings of the week

In its weekly defence tech job digest, the Defender Media editorial team highlights employment opportunities at a selected company in the sector or within a specific professional field. This week’s spotlight is on Vidar Systems, a startup developing acoustic technologies for the military. The digest also features updated job openings from section partner BazaIT, as well as recruiting platforms CORE Team and Lobby X.
Vidar Systems Job Openings
Vidar Systems is a Ukrainian startup working in the field of acoustic technologies. The company develops acoustic sensors for detecting enemy artillery. Using triangulation methods and AI algorithms, Vidar Systems’ systems can determine the origin of a shot based solely on its sound.
In 2024, Vidar Systems won a $10,000 grant at the IT Arena Startup Competition and raised $450,000 from Presto Tech Horizons.
The startup tackles complex engineering challenges — a fact clearly reflected in the open positions currently available.
