We design, build, and operationalise high-performance electronic warfare (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, giving you the exciting opportunity to collaborate directly with world-class industrial design and EW experts. About the team We are a lean, agile group with a strong systems-minded focus. We operate without silos, meaning we look for self-starters who are comfortable stepping outside their main area of expertise to solve complex problems. In our team, you will have the autonomy to take decisive action and the responsibility to see your hardware operate in the field. Your mission You will drive the design, development, integration, and testing of advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities on STARK’s platforms. Taking ownership of critical hardware and RF systems from concept to layout to simulation, you will ensure our platforms maintain peak performance and deliver decisive overmatch in complex, highly dynamic RF environments.
