How does swipeandhired work?

You set your target roles, salary floor and locations once. swipeandhired scores matching postings against your profile, drafts tailored application materials with AI, and either lets you swipe to apply, one tap at a time, or runs fully on autopilot. Every application is tracked in your dashboard.

Which ATS platforms does swipeandhired support?

All of them. swipeandhired applies on every applicant tracking system (ATS) employers use, including Workday, SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Lever, Ashby, Taleo, SuccessFactors, Oracle Cloud and Jobvite, and on a company's own careers page when it uses none of them. You can also bring any posting yourself by link or pasted text.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime, in one click from the billing portal in Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. No retention calls, no dark patterns.

Is my data used for training AI models?

No. Your resume and application data are processed only to run the service for you, matching, drafting, and submitting applications. We never sell your data. If you bring your own AI provider key, requests go directly to your provider under their terms.

Lead Engineer, Maritime at Uforce, United Kingdom - London

Lead Engineer, Maritime at Uforce in United Kingdom - London. Apply with swipeandhired.

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. Each platform is deployable on its own, and stronger as part of the system. Its product lines include the MAGURA family of uncrewed surface vessels, the NEMESIS family of strike platforms, the LIUT family of ground robotic platforms, and counter-UAS systems.

About the role
UFORCE is growing rapidly, and we’re looking for a Lead Engineer, Maritime to take hands-on technical ownership of a maritime product and help turn operational lessons from Ukraine into a reliable, manufacturable system that customers can test, deploy and reorder.
You’ll initially focus on one product, working across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain and field teams to solve the most important technical problems and take it from its current configuration to repeatable production and customer delivery.
This is a hands-on engineering leadership role, not a management-only position. You’ll stay close to the hardware, lead system-level trade-offs, investigate failures and make sure design changes are supported by test evidence and reflected in what we build.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong maritime engineering judgement with the ability to bring people together and deliver at pace. As UFORCE’s maritime portfolio expands, there is potential to grow into broader technical leadership, including Chief Engineer, Maritime, based on business need and demonstrated performance.

What you’ll do

Own the product’s technical baseline across hull, propulsion, power, onboard electronics, control, communications, navigation, payload interfaces and control systems.

Work with naval architecture and marine engineering specialists to maintain the stability, structural, weight and safety evidence supporting the product configuration.

Translate customer requirements, operator feedback and field experience into clear engineering priorities and an executable delivery plan.

Lead technical trade-offs and systems integration across mechanical, electrical, marine-control and software interfaces.

Work closely with Ukrainian product experts and international engineering teams to preserve operational knowledge and develop the product for Western customers.

Establish practical requirements, configuration and change control so engineering, manufacturing and field teams work from a consistent, approved design.

Lead failure investigation, root-cause analysis and corrective action, verifying fixes through repeatable bench, dockside and sea testing.

Demonstrate product performance and reliability through clear test plans, measured results and documented operating limits.

Partner with manufacturing and supply chain on design for manufacture, component qualification, approved substitutions, cost and production readiness.

Release the engineering package needed for repeatable production, including drawings, bills of materials, assembly requirements and acceptance tests.

Provide technical readiness assessments for customer trials and demonstrations, distinguishing proven capability from development goals.

Coordinate engineers and specialist partners, make ownership clear and escalate technical, safety or resource risks early.

Identify opportunities to reuse architecture, components and engineering practices as the maritime product range grows.

Required Skill

Experience personally leading engineering delivery for a complete uncrewed vessel or substantial integrated maritime product, with clear ownership of technical decisions and outcomes.

Strong systems integration judgement across mechanical, electrical, propulsion, control, communications, navigation and software interfaces.

Experience taking a maritime product from prototype towards repeatable production, including design for manufacture, configuration control and production test.

A track record of investigating sea-trial or field failures, identifying root causes and proving corrective actions through testing.

The ability to lead engineers across disciplines and drive delivery through influence as well as formal authority.

Practical understanding of how design decisions affect component availability, qualification, unit cost and manufacturing quality.

An understanding of how marine conditions, degraded navigation, communications resilience and operator feedback affect vessel design and testing.

The judgement to recognize stability, structural and vessel-safety implications and involve the appropriate technical specialists.

The ability to turn incomplete information into clear priorities, sound technical decisions and measurable progress.

Clear, honest communication about product capability, limitations, risks and delivery feasibility.

A hands-on approach, high ownership and the judgement to balance speed with appropriate engineering discipline.

Willingness to travel regularly to engineering teams, manufacturing sites, sea-trial sites and customers.

Nice to Have

Direct experience working with Ukrainian maritime teams, products or operators.

Experience adapting products for Western defence customers.

Familiarity with applicable defence sourcing restrictions and export-control requirements.

Experience supporting customer sea trials, military qualification, vessel classification or marine assurance activity.

Experience with naval architecture, high-speed craft, marine autonomy, USVs / UUVs or mission-payload integration.

Experience coordinating engineering and manufacturing across countries.

Evidence of growing from hands-on product ownership into broader technical leadership.

The nature of combat has changed.
Tomorrow’s battlefield success depends on autonomy, speed, and adaptability.
And UFORCE is ready.
