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.

Responsibilities

• Select, design, and integrate RF hardware including SDRs, antennas, filters, LNAs, power amplifiers, and front-end modules
• Define system-level requirements and ensure RF systems meet performance, environmental, and regulatory standards
• Develop robust communication architectures for UAV command, control, telemetry, and payload data transfer
• Support the design and integration of electronic warfare functions such as signal detection, jamming, spoofing, and RF hardening
• Perform RF simulations, link budget calculations, and range performance modeling
• Work with mechanical and systems engineers on antenna placement, EMC/EMI mitigation, and SWaP optimization
• Evaluate and qualify COTS and custom RF components for use in military platforms
• Plan and execute lab testing, range validation, and flight trials of RF systems
• Ensure compliance with NATO STANAGs, MIL standards (e.g. MIL-STD-461, 464, 810), and relevant frequency allocation regulations
  
  

Contribute to safety, reliability, and certification documentation, including SC-Light UAS or equivalent pathways where applicable

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related discipline
• 5+ years of experience in RF systems design, ideally in aerospace, defense, or tactical communications
• Solid experience with software-defined radios, RF front-end design, and antenna system integration
• Knowledge of RF propagation, modulation schemes, spectral efficiency, and interference mitigation
• Familiar with RF test equipment (VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators) and RF design/simulation tools (e.g. HFSS, CST, MATLAB)
• Understanding of EMC/EMI principles and ruggedization of RF systems for harsh environments
• Familiarity with relevant military standards and NATO STANAGs for communication and EW systems
• Awareness of civil UAV certification requirements (e.g. SC-Light UAS) is a plus
• Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills
• Eligible for security clearance (or already holds one)
• Fluent in English; German is beneficial, additional languages are a plus
