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. 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.

Your mission

STARK designs and builds UAVs for various mission types and environments. A very capable flight controller is a key ingredient to the success of any UAV. STARK looks for experienced Flight Controller engineers who have designed, built and tested flight control systems extensively in the past, ideally in a military context. The scope of STARKs Flight Controller Engineering team encompasses attitude rate controlling but also waypoint navigation and orientation based navigation as well as vehicle guidance.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test and document single PX4 system for multiple UAVs
• Optimize and tune FC for peak performance and maximum degree of automation
• Conduct simulation runs to prove functional safety
• Understand and implement ConOps of vehicles and design flight control system to deliver ConOps
• Design and build navigation system but also
• Collaborate closely with other teams, for example Perception and AI teams to integrate sensor fusion
• Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends, recommending and implementing innovations to improve our products and processes
• Dive deep into the details to identify, understand, and solve difficult technical problems.
• Constantly be challenging requirements to determine what adds value and what is not.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or a related field.
• Past proven experience in Flight Controlling, ideally PX4
• You name your first-born “Kalman”
• Comprehensive understanding of control loops and their theoretic underpinning
• Deep understanding of flight dynamics modelling and simulation
• C/C++ wizard, Rust is a plus
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
• Adaptability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment with a strong drive for innovation and continuous improvement.
