About Stark

Stark builds the world’s most powerful electric motorcycles. From the VARG MX to the road-legal VARG EX & SM, our bikes have won world championships and are engineered to outperform anything with a combustion engine.

The Role

Homologation makes a Stark road-legal in Europe, the US, Australia, Taiwan, Brazil, China and every market we open next. As Senior Homologation Engineer you will be the technical owner of that work: the Type Approval files, the COP programme, component and system certifications, and the direct relationship with technical services and approval authorities.

This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role at the centre of the company, coordinating with vehicle engineering, quality, production and commercial teams.

You will join a small, senior team that is scaling. There is a clear path to growing regulatory capability around you as Stark enters new markets.

What You’ll Do

Whole Vehicle Homologation

• Own the Whole Vehicle Type Approval files under Regulation (EU) 168/2013: information documents, drawing packages and Certificates of Conformity.
• Plan and execute homologation and certification in main non-EU markets, such as the US, Canada and Australia.
• Manage base approvals and extensions through their full lifecycle.
• Run the COP programme: manage the test schedule and execution in coordination with Quality.
• Support homologation in new key markets, such as Latin America, China, Brazil, India, Korea and Japan.

Components and systems

• Support certification for chargers, lighting devices, batteries and connected components.
• Maintain the Technical File for compliance with the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.

Design, engineering and cross-functional work

• Deploy regulatory requirements into engineering early, including design reviews from the CAD stage.
• Request, compare and negotiate quotations from technical services.
• Monitor regulatory developments through industry associations and technical committees.

What you will bring to Stark

• Degree in Engineering: Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Industrial or Automotive.
• 5+ years in vehicle type approval, homologation or regulatory compliance engineering, ideally on L-category vehicles.
• Solid working knowledge of Regulation (EU) 168/2013 and the relevant UN Regulations (R10, R53, R78, R85, R148/R149, R155).
• Demonstrated experience preparing and submitting complete type-approval dossiers, and managing approvals through their full lifecycle.
• Hands-on experience coordinating and witnessing tests with technical services (IDIADA, DEKRA, TÜV or equivalent), and the ability to critically review test reports rather than simply file them.
• Understanding of COP and of quality-management systems.
• Rigorous technical documentation skills.
• Fluent English.
• Autonomous, structured and comfortable making a compliance decision in a fast-moving environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with electric powertrains: electrical safety, EMC, chargers, battery systems.
• Familiarity with the EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and the Digital Battery Passport.
• Regulatory cybersecurity experience (RED Delegated Act, UN R155, Cyber Resilience Act).
• Non-EU homologation experience: US, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, India, China, Brazil, or Latin America.
• Product or electrical safety certification: CB Scheme, CE marking.
• Experience being the audited party in front of an approval authority.
• A genuine interest in motorcycles.

Why work with us?

• The chance to work on a product people are genuinely passionate about
• A fast-growing company with real momentum
• A creative, international team based in Barcelona
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Direct access to riders, race teams, and the product — this is not a remote-from-the-product role
• Subsidized lunch in our in house restaurant
• Free access to our in-house gym (including weekends!)
• 30 days of paid vacation
