Jobbeschreibung

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. Minerva is STARK's command and control software - the brain that connects operators to autonomous systems across multiple domains in real time. The Minerva team is a small, senior software group based in Berlin and Munich, working directly with our systems and hardware teams to build mission-critical C2 capabilities deployed in active operational environments. We move fast, ship real software, and operate under constraints most engineers never encounter - low-bandwidth networks, air-gapped devices, high-stakes decision loops. There is no room for abstraction for its own sake. Everything we build ends up in the hands of real operators in the field . Support the development, integration, testing, and continuous improvement of IT-based hardware systems for drone Ground Control Stations and related operational setups. You will work hands-on with ruggedized computers, tablets, networking equipment, routers, radios, power systems, peripheral devices, cabling, and Linux-based system environments to create reliable and field-ready GCS solutions. A key part of the role is the practical integration of IT hardware into different GCS variants, including mobile ground stations, vehicle-based installations, handheld versions, boat-based setups, and other mission-specific configurations. You will help ensure that all components interact reliably, are properly configured, well documented, maintainable, and ready for testing, production, and operational deployment. This role is strongly hands-on and combines IT system understanding, hardware integration, workshop readiness, and practical problem-solving in fast-moving development and test environments.

• IT Hardware Integration: Integrate ruggedized laptops, tablets, routers, switches, radios, power components, displays, controllers, peripheral devices, and other IT hardware into complete Ground Control Station setups.
• - GCS Variant Development: Support the development and optimization of different GCS variants, including mobile cases, vehicle-mounted systems, handheld solutions, boat-based setups, and other operational configurations.
• - System Configuration: Configure and maintain Linux-based systems, network devices, routers, connected hardware, and peripheral components to ensure stable and repeatable system behavior.
• - Network & Interface Integration: Support the integration of IP-based networks, device interfaces, local system connections, authentication concepts, and communication paths between GCS components.
• - Hardware Interaction: Ensure reliable and efficient interaction between IT systems, radios, networking equipment, power components, sensors, controllers, and operational software tools.
• - Cabling & Build Quality: Design, implement, and maintain clean, robust, serviceable, and field-ready cable management and physical integration concepts for mobile and ruggedized deployments.
• - Power & Energy Concepts: Support the integration of battery-based power systems, charging concepts, fallback power supply solutions, power distribution, and energy management for different GCS variants.
• - Testing & Troubleshooting: Conduct hands-on testing, debugging, and optimization of integrated hardware and IT setups in workshops, labs, vehicles, boats, and outdoor test environments.
• - Production & Supply Chain Support: Support production readiness by defining repeatable build setups, hardware dependencies, configuration baselines, parts requirements, and clear handover documentation.
• - Documentation: Document system setups, hardware configurations, network settings, dependencies, test results, build instructions, and lessons learned in a clear, structured, and maintainable way.
• - Experience: Around 3 years of professional experience in IT systems integration, hardware integration, systems engineering, field engineering, technical operations, or a related hands-on technical role. Stronger junior or mid-level candidates can also be considered if they bring the right practical profile.
• - IT Systems Understanding: Good practical understanding of computers, operating systems, network devices, routers, interfaces, peripheral hardware, and system configuration in technical environments.
• - Linux & Networking: Experience working with Linux-based systems and basic networking concepts such as IP addressing, routing, switching, VLANs, device configuration, and troubleshooting.
• - Hardware Integration: Proven hands-on experien
