• Deploy and integrate Intelic’s solutions on-site (no coding required).

• Configure local systems, radios, and networks to ensure smooth integration.

• Support onboarding and limited field training of end-users and partners (train-the-trainer model).

• Conduct field testing and quality assurance together with military and technical partners.

• Document issues, fixes, and field learnings for internal feedback and improvement loops.

• Act as a local extension of the Netherlands-based development and customer success teams.

• Coordinate and report progress across key checkpoints (e.g., testing, deployments).

• Stay in regular communication with headquarters, providing timely updates.

What you will bring

• Ukrainian citizenship or legal right to work in Ukraine.

• Technical education (engineering, IT, telecommunications, etc.).

• Strong troubleshooting experience with radios, networks, and deployment issues.

• Proven experience in working with UxV’s.

• High motivation and willingness to learn new technologies.

• Willingness to work in conflict zones and under dynamic field conditions.

• Fluent in the Ukrainian language.

• English proficiency (written and spoken) at an intermediate level.

• Prior experience in the defense sector, humanitarian missions, or field operations.

• Familiarity with GIS tools, telemetry systems, or network troubleshooting.

• Knowledge of Linux, embedded systems, or remote hardware management.

• Prior collaboration with NGOs, military units, or international partners.
