That missile may be used by Ukraine defending against Russians attackers trying to kill them. Sure people die as a result of your work, but you also allow others to live.
The real unethical thing is for anyone - regardless of where you work - to allow your military weapons to be used for “evil”. (Note that I didn’t define evil)
It is in the nature of people to fight and exploit others. No pacifist society would last long without weaponry. Hence, we need people to make weapons. I’m also an animal lover who eats meat and recognise the hypocrisy in my position.
The trouble with weapons is that after we’ve made them we are no longer in control of how they are used. I would rather use my talents to improve other people’s lives but I understand why people make guns.
