    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 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.

    Your mission

    As a Mechanical Engineer in the Electronic Warfare division, your focus will be on speed, adaptability, and execution. Your primary mission is to rapidly design, package, and integrate cutting-edge EW payloads into autonomous loitering munition systems. We aren't looking for someone to spend years building a single, monolithic asset; we need a versatile problem-solver who can quickly tackle a variety of hardware, thermal, and structural challenges to get reliable systems into the field.

    Responsibilities

    • Package and integrate complex EW hardware, antennas, and RF payloads into autonomous loitering munition systems.

    • Get hands-on with the validation process—quickly designing fixtures and executing testing inside advanced chambers (thermal, vibration, and environmental shock).

    • Use FEA and CFD as practical tools to solve thermal dissipation and high-g load challenges efficiently.

    • Partner closely with RF and software teams to rapidly iterate on mechanical constraints and real-time mission requirements.

    • Move fast from initial CAD modeling through rapid prototyping to manufacturing handoff.

    Qualifications

    • A history of successfully solving a variety of mechanical packaging and thermal challenges quickly, rather than dedicating years to a single project.

    • High proficiency in modern 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, or Creo) and practical simulation tools for FEA/CFD.

    • Experience packaging ruggedized electronics or payloads into weight-critical, high-vibration platforms (UAVs, robotics, or aerospace).

    • Hands-on experience preparing hardware for environmental testing and adjusting designs based on quick test results.

    • Ability to collaborate clearly and move projects forward seamlessly with RF and software teams.

    Relevant Backgrounds

    • Aerospace, UAV, or robotics structural and mechanical design.

    • Enclosure design for ruggedized electronics, RF front-ends, or Software-Defined Radios (SDRs).

    • Fast-paced hardware prototyping environments.

    Nice to have

    • Understanding of how mechanical material selection impacts RF transparency and EMI/EMC.

    • Experience with composite materials and lightweight manufacturing techniques.

    • Familiarity with environmental qualification concepts (e.g., MIL-STD-810).
