C-UAS Payload Integration Manager

STARK

ABOUT US STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionising 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 — providing operators with a decisive edge in contested environments. We are 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 STARK is building the next generation of counter-UAS capability, and we need an Electrical Engineer who wants to be at the sharp end of that problem. You'll sit within our C-UAS team in Swindon, owning the electrical design and integration of systems that need to work — reliably, in the field, under pressure. This isn't a maintenance role; you'll be shaping hardware that goes into operational environments. RESPONSIBILITIES * Design, develop, and validate electrical systems and subsystems in support of STARK's C-UAS product line. * Own schematic capture, PCB layout review, and electrical architecture documentation from concept through to production release. * Support hardware integration and bring-up, troubleshooting electrical issues across RF, power, and digital domains, including the integration of autonomy companion computers (SBCs), flight controllers, radio links, and high-power electric propulsion systems (EDFs/BLDC motors). * Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to resolve cross-discipline design conflicts early. * Define and execute electrical test plans, including EMC/EMI considerations relevant to field-deployed defence systems. * Contribute to design reviews (PDR, CDR) and produce clear, accurate technical documentation. * Liaise with suppliers and contract manufacturers on component selection, lead times, and production quality. * Support field trials and customer demonstrations where electrical performance validation is required. QUALIFICATIONS * Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline. * Proven experience (4+ years) in hardware/electrical engineering, ideally in a defence, aerospace, or high-reliability product environment. * Proficiency in schematic capture and PCB design tools (Altium preferred). * Solid understanding of power electronics, signal integrity, and mixed-signal design. * Familiarity with EMC standards and design-for-manufacture principles. NICE TO HAVE * Direct experience with UAS, C-UAS, EW, or RF-heavy systems. * Experience with the electrical integration of seeker payloads (e.g., EO/IR Gimbals) and fuzing mechanisms. * Exposure to STANAG or MIL-SPEC design requirements. * Experience supporting field trials or rapid prototyping in a defence startup or SME context. * Familiarity with DO-254 or similar airborne/defence hardware assurance frameworks. If you're interested in building the future of European Defence with us, and you see yourself reflected on the description above, please send us your CV in English. We´re looking forward to meeting you!

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'll make flight test campaigns actually happen, turning engineering readiness, range availability, and a maze of permits into a schedule that holds. As STARK's flight test cadence increases across our CUAS program, you'll be the person who keeps test sites, ground crews, and approvals moving in sync, with Germany as the operational hub and the rest of Europe in scope when a campaign needs it. This role exists because flight testing only creates value when the aircraft actually gets in the air on schedule. RESPONSIBILITIES * Plan and coordinate flight test campaigns across multiple programs, aligning schedules with engineering readiness, range availability, and safety sign-off. * Own the logistics chain for test execution: range bookings, airspace clearances (NOTAMs), and regulatory approvals across German and other European test sites. * Act as the central coordination point between flight test engineers, systems/payload teams, ground crew, and safety officers before and during campaigns. * Track and escalate schedule risks and blockers to program leadership in terms they can act on, not just status updates, but decisions they need to make. * Coordinate equipment, personnel, and ground support transport to and from test sites across Europe. * Run pre-test readiness checks and post-test debriefs, capturing action items and lessons learned so they actually get fixed before the next campaign. * Maintain working relationships with external test ranges, civil aviation authorities, and host-nation contacts to keep access reliable as activity scales. * Build and maintain the checklists, templates, and processes that let flight test coordination scale without everything running through institutional memory. QUALIFICATIONS * Experience coordinating technical field operations, test campaigns, or similarly logistics-heavy activities, aviation, aerospace, defence, or motorsport backgrounds all transfer. * Working knowledge of European airspace regulations, NOTAM processes, and UAS/aircraft test permitting — or a demonstrated ability to pick it up fast. * Comfortable operating as the hub between multiple technical and non-technical stakeholders under real time pressure. * Strong organizational instincts, with the ability to absorb last-minute schedule changes without losing track of dependencies. * Willingness to travel regularly across Europe, including extended stretches at test sites. * Professional English, German or any other European language will considered a plus * Execution-focused mindset: solves logistics problems on-site, doesn't just flag them and wait. NICE TO HAVE * Direct experience on UAS or manned aircraft flight campaigns. * Existing relationships with German test ranges, civil aviation authorities (e.g. LBA), or host-nation test infrastructure. * Background in safety/range operations or test QA. * Experience scaling test operations as program cadence ramps up.
