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.

Your Mission

You will be actively involved in the entire hardware development cycle for Battery Charging Equipment, with a focus on prototyping and supporting the transition into serial production.

Responsibilities

  • Prototyping & Debugging: Assembling and thoroughly debugging hardware prototypes.
  • PCB Design: Drafting, designing, and optimizing PCB layouts for new functional modules.
  • Component Selection: Evaluating and selecting suitable electronic and electromechanical components (e.g., connectors, cables, and functional assemblies) based on high-level system requirements.
  • Integration: Integrating modules into the overall system in close collaboration with Embedded Software Development Engineers.
  • Testing & Documentation: Defining, coordinating, and documenting End-of-Line testing procedures to ensure product reliability and quality.

Required Skills

  • Education: A completed Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Practical Background: Experience in prototyping hardware projects, including soldering, crimping, and 3D printing. A relevant apprenticeship completed prior to or alongside your studies is a plus.
  • Technical Skills: Knowledge of PCB design and CAD layout tools. Experience in embedded software development is a plus.
  • Work Style: An independent, structured, and proactive approach to work.
  • Mindset: A strong, hands-on personality with a passion for building, measuring, and systematically troubleshooting real hardware.
