Use Your Engineering Expertise to Help Defend Freedom
The war in Ukraine has transformed civilian innovation into one of the most powerful assets in modern defense. Engineers — from across the globe — are volunteering their skills to help Ukraine design, build, and deploy the tools it needs to survive and win. Whether you’re an electrical engineer, robotics specialist, mechanical designer, or data systems expert — there’s a place for you in Ukraine’s tech resistance.
🌍 Why Engineering Matters in a War Zone
Ukraine’s defense ecosystem depends not only on soldiers but also on those who create the tools they use. Engineers are powering the innovation behind:
- Custom drones and autonomous systems
- Secure battlefield communications
- Portable power systems and solar energy solutions
- Logistics infrastructure and routing
- Protective gear, armor, and shelters
- Sensor systems and IED detection devices
- Embedded systems and firmware development
This isn’t theory — it’s real-world problem solving under fire. From makeshift drone factories to sophisticated sensor labs, engineers are helping turn the tide with open-source ingenuity and practical thinking.
👷 Who We’re Looking For
We welcome engineers and technical minds in fields such as:
- Electrical & Electronics Engineering
- Robotics & Mechatronics
- Embedded Systems & IoT
- Mechanical Design (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, etc.)
- Data Engineering & Geospatial Analysis
- Firmware and PCB Development
- Energy systems (solar, battery, RF power)
Whether you can donate 5 hours a week remotely or want to join an in-person workshop in Europe — there’s a critical need for your skillset.
🔧 What You Might Work On
- Designing low-cost FPV drones with swappable parts
- Improving encryption protocols for secure communication
- Prototyping field kits and modular tech for soldiers
- Assisting volunteer labs with testing and documentation
