Electrical Engineer Electronic Warfare

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. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.

We’re 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.

• Lead end-to-end board design utilizing Altium Designer, implementing High-Density Interconnect (HDI) techniques and routing high-frequency interfaces.

• Design, simulate, and implement custom RF components and matching networks tailored for contested environments.

• Conduct rigorous antenna design and placement simulations using CST Studio Suite and Altair FEKO to optimize system-level RF performance across our unmanned platforms.

• Own the mechanical packaging and electro-mechanical design of your boards, working closely with other disciplines to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.

• Define and execute strict testing, debugging, and validation protocols to guarantee system stability and survivability.

• 3+ years of professional engineering experience in electronic, RF, or hardware systems development.

• Extensive hands-on experience with board design in Altium, specifically dealing with HDI techniques, complex layer stacks, and high-speed/high-frequency signal integrity.

• Demonstrated proficiency in designing matching networks and simulating RF components, with direct experience using CST and/or Altair FEKO for antenna placement and optimization.

• Strong foundational understanding of how individual RF and electronic components impact the broader system architecture.

• A proven self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, small-team environment and is unafraid to tackle technical challenges outside of their primary domain.

• Exceptional ability to debug complex, multi-disciplinary system issues at the intersection of hardware, RF, and software.

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications, or Mechatronics Engineering (or a related field).

• Professional background in Defense, Aerospace, Telecommunications, or other high-performance, high-reliability hardware industries.

• Applied experience with the RF spectrum, signal processing, or software-defined radios (SDR).
