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.

Your mission

You will design, develop, integrate, and test advanced Electronic Warfare capabilities on STARK’s internal EW platforms, developing superior performance across complex and highly dynamic RF environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-performance C++ software enabling advanced EW functions and real‑time signal processing/Post processing.
• Design and implement algorithms relating to RF sensing, disruption, and situational awareness.
• Contribute to electronic situational awareness tools, guidance algorithms, and RF‑centric mission effects.
• Collaborate with cross‑disciplinary hardware and systems teams to align software, RF, and platform design.
• Contribute to the full stack of EW capabilities, from design to testing to ensure stability, reliability, and consistent performance in EW environments.

Qualifications

• Strong engineering skills at both the systems design and detailed implementation levels.
• Strong proficiency in modern C/C++ (memory management, concurrency, performance analysis).
• Significant interest in physics/RF or a strong preexisting understanding of RF processing fundamentals and the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Clear and structured communication skills for cross‑functional technical collaboration.

Relevant Backgrounds

• General software engineering and architecture for high‑performance systems.
• RF spectrum engineering, radio communications, or electromagnetic systems.
• Radar, X‑ray systems, radiowaveform development, or software‑defined radio.
• Complex signal‑processing environments and mathematically driven system design.

Nice‑to‑Have / Bonus Skills

• SDR software development
• Hands‑on experience with RF waveform design and amateur radio.
• Familiarity with wireless & cable‑borne data formats (QAM‑64, QPSK).
• Exposure to jamming theory, threat‑driven RF effects, and EW tactics.
• Experience in signal processing and mathematical modelling (Fourier methods, modulation theory, filtering, etc.).
• Strong interest in physics, electromagnetic propagation, and waveform engineering.
