Jobbeschreibung

About Us

STARK is a defence 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 opportunity to lead alongside 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, looking for senior engineers who thrive on end-to-end technical leadership and cross-domain problem solving. In this role, you will have the mandate to architect critical hardware, mentor high-performing teams, take decisive action, and see your systems operate in the field.

Your mission

You will architect and drive the design, integration, and deployment of mission-critical Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities across STARK’s platforms. Serving as a technical authority for critical hardware and RF systems, you will guide architecture from concept through simulation, layout, and field validation, ensuring our platforms deliver decisive overmatch in complex, dynamic RF environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end board design using Altium Designer, setting standards for High-Density Interconnect (HDI) techniques, stackup strategies, and complex high-frequency routing.

• Oversee the design, simulation, and implementation of custom RF components, matching networks, and signal conditioning chains for contested environments.

• Direct antenna design and placement simulations using CST Studio Suite and Altair FEKO to optimize platform-level RF performance and mitigate co-site interference.

• Drive the mechanical packaging and electro-mechanical integration of hardware systems, collaborating with software, firmware, and mechanical teams to ensure seamless platform deployment.

• Establish rigorous testing, debugging, and validation frameworks to guarantee hardware survivability and performance against strict defence and environmental standards.

• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, review technical designs, and contribute to long-term hardware roadmaps and architectural decisions.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional engineering experience leading complex electronic, RF, or hardware systems development.

• Expert-level proficiency in Altium Designer, with a track record of successfully bringing complex HDI, high-speed, and high-frequency PCBs to production.

• Deep experience in RF circuit design, matching network optimization, and electromagnetic simulation using CST Studio Suite, Altair FEKO, or similar tools.

• Proven ability to define multi-layer hardware architectures and translate broad operational requirements into robust engineering specifications.

• Demonstrated track record of technical ownership in fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environments.

• Advanced system-level debugging capability across hardware, RF, software, and firmware boundaries.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications, or Mechatronics Engineering (or equivalent experience).

• Direct experience in Defence, Aerospace, Telecommunications, or high-reliability hardware sectors.

• Deep familiarity with RF spectrum management, signal processing techniques, or Software-Defined Radio (SDR) architectures.
