Jobbeschreibung

About Us

STARK is a defense technology company redefining how autonomous and electronic warfare systems are engineered and deployed. We design, build, and operationalise high-performance electronic warfare (EW) and unmanned systems that provide NATO forces with decisive advantages in contested electromagnetic environments. Our work is grounded in precision, responsibility, and uncompromising engineering discipline, giving you the exciting opportunity to collaborate directly with world-class industrial design and EW experts.

About the team

We are a lean, agile group with a strong systems-minded focus. We operate without silos, meaning we look for self-starters who are comfortable stepping outside their main area of expertise to solve complex problems. In our team, you will have the autonomy to take decisive action and the responsibility to see your hardware operate in the field.

Your mission

You will drive the design, development, integration, and testing of advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities on STARK’s platforms. Taking ownership of critical hardware and RF systems from concept to layout to simulation, you will ensure our platforms maintain peak performance and deliver decisive overmatch in complex, highly dynamic RF environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end board design utilising Altium Designer, implementing High-Density Interconnect (HDI) techniques and routing high-frequency interfaces.

• Design, simulate, and implement custom RF components and matching networks tailored for contested environments.

• Conduct rigorous antenna design and placement simulations using CST Studio Suite and Altair FEKO to optimise system-level RF performance across our unmanned platforms.

• Own the mechanical packaging and electro-mechanical design of your boards, working closely with other disciplines to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.

• Define and execute strict testing, debugging, and validation protocols to guarantee system stability and survivability.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional engineering experience in electronic, RF, or hardware systems development.

• Extensive hands-on experience with board design in Altium, specifically dealing with HDI techniques, complex layer stacks, and high-speed/high-frequency signal integrity.

• Demonstrated proficiency in designing matching networks and simulating RF components, with direct experience using CST and/or Altair FEKO for antenna placement and optimization.

• Strong foundational understanding of how individual RF and electronic components impact the broader system architecture.

• A proven self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, small-team environment and is unafraid to tackle technical challenges outside of their primary domain.

• Exceptional ability to debug complex, multi-disciplinary system issues at the intersection of hardware, RF, and software.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications, or Mechatronics Engineering (or a related field).

• Professional background in Defense, Aerospace, Telecommunications, or other high-performance, high-reliability hardware industries.

• Applied experience with the RF spectrum, signal processing, or software-defined radios (SDR).
