About Us
STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.
We're focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems—not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe—today.
Your mission
Create a unified digital product that reflects what's actually flying—and make sure it's ready for audit, documentation, and handover into production.
Responsibilities
* Own the system architecture of our unmanned systems, merging insights from prototyping into a stable, scalable baseline.
* Align and track all subsystems (mechanical, propulsion, avionics, software, payload) within a structured configuration and version control framework
* Ensure that the digital twin (CAD, BOMs, wiring schematics, software versions, and
* test configurations) accurately reflects the physical aircraft
* Deliver production-grade documentation including ICDs, requirements, system
* diagrams, and change history for audits and handover
* Lead internal technical reviews and support smooth cross-functional transitions
* between design, test, and manufacturing teams
* Act as the technical anchor point for readiness-to-produce decisions and long-term
* product traceability
* Collaborate closely with project, flight test, and quality teams to ensure compliance,
* accountability, and readiness for scale-up
Qualifications
* 5+ years experience in systems engineering, preferably in aerospace, defence, robotics, or complex electromechanical products
* Proven experience managing multidisciplinary configurations (hardware + software + documentation)
* Familiarity with tools for configuration and version control (e.g., PLM/PDM systems, Git, Excel-based BOM tracking)
* Strong documentation and traceability discipline with a bias toward clean handovers and audit-readiness
* Experience transitioning systems from R&D prototype to production baseline
* Excellent communication and cross-team coordination skills
* German or English fluency required; both preferred
