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
- Supporting geospatial mapping tools used by aid groups and reconnaissance teams
- Creating tools for monitoring and logging war damage
- Contributing to scalable humanitarian logistics systems
📬 Get Involved
Submit your interest via our form. You’ll be matched with a vetted volunteer engineering team working with military or humanitarian partners in Ukraine. Remote and hybrid opportunities available.
🛡️ In war, the difference between survival and failure is often technical. Engineers are heroes too.

Hello. My name is Eddie Manso. I am a Mechanical Engineer, I worked on a racecar for the Global Formula Racing Formula Student team in college. We won 4 consecutive world championships.
I am proficient with CAD, FEA, and CFD analysis. Solidworks, and CATIA V5 FEA simulations. I have also designed a novel MTB suspension system.
I strongly believe that I can contibute to Ukraine. I have no family. I have lived in several different countries. I also strongly believe in Democracy, and I am willing to fight against Putin.
Thank you for your time.
”I am a skilled IT specialist with extensive hands-on experience in hardware maintenance, system optimization, and infrastructure troubleshooting. My expertise lies in diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues—from motherboard compatibility and processor performance to SSD integration and system stabilization—often working under resource constraints. I am highly motivated to leverage my practical technical skills to support essential infrastructure and technological resilience in Ukraine. I am seeking an on-site, operative role where I can contribute directly to maintaining critical systems and ensuring operational efficiency on the ground.”
Hi
I am a professionally registered mechanical design engineer with my own license of solidworks. I am currently without work so could provide some assistance to this cause.
I am an embedded systems hardware/firmware engineer with over 30 years of experience in all manner of embedded products, both large and small, and I support the freedom fighting, pro-democracy people of Ukraine. I would like to offer my knowledge and experience to help design and build the best solutions for what I recognize as Ukraine’s advanced, 22nd-century defense systems. Please contact me for my CV and any questions.
Hello,
I am a 26 year old male Electronic Engineer from and working in Ireland. I have 3 years experience working as a Electronic Engineer for a Medical Company. I have skills in PCB design, OrCAD, KiCAD, STM32, embedded C, C, other programming tools aswell as knowing how to use various electronic testing equipment.
I have a full time job but always like to mess with things in my free time. I have an interest in learning more about unmanned systems and I am wondering can I get more information on how exactly this works or and if there is a demand for someone like me.
Many Thanks.

Jestem inżynierem, chcę wam pomóc.
Inżynierem jestem chemii (nieaktywnym), informatykiem (sieci, serwery, klastry, mniej programowanie) i amatorsko elektronikiem (tradycyjnym + mikrokontrolery). Zajmuję się dronami, drukowaniem 3D (Fusion 360), bez przerwy usprawniam różne rzeczy – od strony mechanicznej i programowej.
Chcę wykorzystać swój czas i umiejętności by przybliżyć wasze pełne nad ruskimi zwycięstwo.
Pomagać chcę zdalnie, jestem w stanie poświęcić ok. 10 godzin tygodniowo.
Okazjonalnie mogę pojawić się we Lwowie w razie potrzeby.
Pozdrawiam z Polski,
proszę o kontakt
Slava Ukraini!
I am an ancient (74 years) RF design engineer who would like to help Ukraine. I have experience with radar warning receivers up to 18GHz. Hope I can help.
I was previously a DOD architect and project manager w/ 15 years of experience. I’m currently a laser-cut designer, fabricating small projects part-time. I am looking for remote work (paid or volunteer) opportunities with a Purpose. Open to branching out my design experience into other fields of practice.
