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!

ABOUT THE TEAM As the Test & Verification Engineer – Environmental, you are the technical expert and driving force behind the physical qualification of our systems under extreme conditions. You will not merely test isolated components; rather, you will be responsible for the holistic system qualification according to military standards. In our agile start-up environment, you won't just plan test campaigns from your desk—you will actively execute them in our lab or alongside external partners. RESPONSIBILITIES * Holistic Test Management: Independent definition, planning, preparation, and execution of environmental test campaigns * Ideally fully Interdisciplinary Testing: Monitoring and evaluating system behavior under extreme conditions, taking mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic (EMC), and high-voltage (HV) aspects into account. * Campaign Management: Selection, coordination, and technical supervision of external test labs and service providers, as well as the establishment and operation of in-house testing capabilities. * Data Acquisition & Analysis: Utilization of data acquisition systems (DAQ) and specialized testing software for precise documentation and fault analysis. * Troubleshooting & Design Feedback: Close collaboration with the R&D team (Electronics/Mechanics) to conduct immediate Root Cause Analyses (RCA) in the event of hardware or PCB failures during environmental tests, driving necessary design iterations. QUALIFICATIONS * Educational Background: A completed degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a comparable field. * Norms & Standards: Deep knowledge of qualification according to military standards and ideally AECTP 200/400/600 (or MIL-STD-810 / MIL-STD-461). Or holistic automtive Testing * Holistic Technical Understanding: You think across disciplines. In addition to environmental and mechanical testing (vibration/shock), you bring solid knowledge in the following areas: * Electrical Engineering & PCB: Understanding of circuit designs and PCBs at the system level (even though the focus is on system testing, not pure PCB component testing). * High Voltage (HV): Safe handling and practical experience with high-voltage systems. * Electromagnetics (EMC/EMI): A foundational understanding of electromagnetic compatibility in military systems. * Mechanical understanding of vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and humidity NICE TO HAVE * Defense Experience: Proven experience in the military environment or defense industry. You understand the specific requirements, processes, and mindset of this sector. * Start-up Mentality: You are a "doer." You are not afraid to grab a wrench or an oscilloscope yourself, you improvise in a solution-oriented manner when needed, and you thrive in an agile, fast-paced environment.
