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).
