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.

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.
