Technical Sales & Project Manager
R&D
Kyiv, Ukraine
About the role
Sales team does not have the capacity currently to push UA market, where we should have
a heavy focus with frontier
Summary
FRK lets UGV manufacturers and military units add autonomy, fleet management, and
resilient navigation to ground robots. As our Technical Sales & Project Manager,
you own the Ukrainian pipeline: identifying who needs FRK, building relationships with
them, and organizing the demos and pilots that turn interest into orders.
You are technical enough to run the first pitch and scope an integration yourself. Our
Field Robotics Engineer joins you for deep integration work and field tests.
