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).
