Job description

At Stark, we forge the future of European and national security through cutting-edge, AI-driven technology and unmatched engineering precision. As a premier defence technology company, our mission is clear: to equip NATO Allies and their partners  with next-generation autonomous defence platforms and advanced AI-driven software built to perform in the world’s most demanding environments.

We believe that true security stems from relentless innovation. By combining elite engineering talent with agile technology and an AI-native operational culture, Stark turns complex defence challenges into field-tested, multi-domain solutions.

WHY JOIN US

  • The software and systems you work on directly protect personnel and defend European and national sovereignty.
  • You will work alongside industry-leading minds on autonomous systems, advanced propulsion, and secure cyber platforms.
  • We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&D backing.
About the Team
The Operations Excellence team sits within the COO organization and serves as a strategic partner to managers, team leads, and colleagues across Stark. By delivering data-driven insights, leading critical projects, and driving continuous process improvement, we help the organization operate more efficiently, scale effectively, and achieve its goals faster.
As an individual contributor, you will take end-to-end ownership of complex initiatives with significant business impact. Working closely with cross-functional stakeholders, you will have the opportunity to influence key decisions, shape core operating processes, and contribute directly to the success of one of Europe’s fastest-growing unicorns.

Your Mission

As Automation Engineer, you build and deploy automations that eliminate manual effort across operations and the back-office. You work across RPA, LLM-based tooling, and API integrations — and you are as likely to be automating an invoice approval chain as a production line data feed. You measure success in hours saved and errors eliminated.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build RPA workflows for operational and back-office processes — UiPath, Power Automate, or equivalent
  • Develop LLM-based automation tools for document-heavy workflows: invoice extraction, quality certificates, order processing, email triage
  • Integrate automation solutions with ERP, MES, and business applications via APIs
  • Build agent-based workflows where multi-step reasoning or decision-making is required
  • Test, deploy, and maintain automations in production — including monitoring, alerting, and incident response
  • Document automation logic, dependencies, and maintenance procedures thoroughly
  • Work with operational and back-office teams to identify, scope, and prioritise new automation opportunities
Required Skills
  • 3–6 years building automations in an operational or business process context
  • Has shipped working automations into production — not just proof-of-concept or demo environments
  • RPA tools — UiPath, Power Automate, or equivalent (hands-on production experience)
  • Python scripting — for custom automation logic, API integration, and LLM tool use
  • API integration — REST APIs, webhooks, data exchange across ERP and business systems
  • Process analysis and QA mindset — automations must be reliable, not just functional
  • BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar

Nice-To-Have

  • LLM-based tooling — prompt engineering, agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar)
  • ERP system familiarity (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar)
  • Manufacturing or back-office finance/ops experience

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!
