While some Ukrainian IT professionals complain about the difficult market for beginners, the situation looks different in the defense tech segment. HR specialist in the field of defense technologies Slava Pavlyuk said that companies are ready to hire engineers without experience — if there is a strong base and motivation.
«Let someone tell you there are no jobs at DefTech without experience,» he wrote.
According to Pavlyuk, the problem of employment for graduates of technical specialties, in particular hardware-related fields, has existed for years. Young engineers could often count on either «factory worker» positions or roles without clear development prospects.
Now, he says, other opportunities are emerging — with training, salary increases, and work on complex engineering products.
«I remember when I was a student at KPI and often heard from friends who graduated from hardware specialties that it was difficult to find a job in their specialty. Not just as a factory worker, but one with training and the opportunity to grow, with a regular salary increase, with an interesting and complex project. Then I just sympathized, but now I have great opportunities!», he wrote and added several positions for which he is expecting candidates.
This concerns, in particular, the following open positions:
Companies are willing to hire candidates without commercial experience, but expect a strong engineering background and a desire to develop.
