ABOUT US
STARK is a new kind of defence technology company, revolutionizing 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.
YOUR MISSION
As our Werkstattmeister (Workshop Lead), you are the technical authority on the R&D shop floor. Your mission is to maintain a
high-functioning prototyping environment that bridges the gap between digital design and physical testing.
You will lead a small team of 3–4 technicians and act as the "gatekeeper" of our workshop standards. You balance the speed of R&D
with the necessity of order: you ensure tools are returned, machines are respected, and safety is never compromised. You aren't
just a supervisor; you are an enabler who provides the guidance and structure engineers need to build and test their designs
effectively before they move into series production.
RESPONSIBILITIES
WORKSHOP MANAGEMENT & AUTHORITY
- Ownership of the Floor: You define and enforce the standards for cleanliness, tool placement, and machine usage. You ensure the
workshop remains organized enough to remain productive.
- Asset Maintenance: You own the maintenance cycles for our CNC portal, manual lathe, and large 3D printing farm (FDM, Resin, and
SLS/PA11).
- Technical Guidance: You provide hands-on support and "over-the-shoulder" guidance to engineers. You ensure they use the
equipment correctly and help them troubleshoot physical build issues.
- Inventory & Sourcing: You manage the stock of R&D materials and hardware. You will be a key stakeholder in selecting and
commissioning our future high-end metal CNC machinery.
PROTOTYPING & ASSEMBLY
- Execution: Lead the team in building complex prototypes, from UAV airframes to radio link towers and specialized test stands,
supporting the Engineers that designed builds.
- Additive Farm Oversight: Ensure the printing farm is running efficiently, prioritizing jobs based on R&D needs and ensuring the
quality of high-strength PA11 SLS parts.
- Process Transition: Help refine prototyping workflows so that designs can be successfully handed over to the production
workshop.
QUALIFICATIONS
EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION
- Certified Master Craftsman (Meister) or Senior Technician in a mechanical field (e.g., Feinwerkmechanik, Industriemechanik,
Modellbau, or Aviation/Fluggerätmechanik).
- Experience in a prototyping or R&D environment where you have managed both machines and people.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
- Machining: Strong hands-on experience with manual lathes and CNC machines (milling/portal).
- Additive Manufacturing: Solid understanding of FDM and Resin processes. Practical experience with SLS (PA11) for functional
parts is a strong advantage.
- Familiar with CAD/CAM: Ability to work with CATIA / 3DEXPERIENCE to review designs to prepare manufacturing steps is a plus.
- Standards: A background in aviation or defense-related manufacturing standards is a big plus.
MINDSET & WORKING STYLE
- The "Anchor" of the Shop: You have the confidence to enforce shop floor rules and ensure discipline regarding tools and safety,
but you do it to help the team, not to hinder them.
- Practical Leadership: You understand that R&D requires flexibility. You aim for a "clean-as-you-go" culture that supports speed
rather than a rigid "sterile lab" mentality.
- Quality & Pride: You take personal pride in the state of the workshop and the quality of the prototypes that leave it.
