EW Network & Embedded Software Engineer (All Genders)

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 take our directional mesh datalink from the lab bench onto real platforms and make it a fieldable, manageable, and verifiable network. You own everything between the radio and the rest of the system: the embedded software stack, network management, data transport, and the logging that proves the link works. No RF background is required. We are looking for a strong embedded and networking engineer who has put software on physical systems.

ABOUT THE TEAM

STARK's Electronic Warfare team is a systems-focussed engineering group delivering software-defined, mass-scalable RF solutions for autonomous systems. Combining deep domain expertise in hardware board design, thermal/ structural packaging, real-time C++ signal processing, and resilient directional mesh networking, we rapidly build field advanced EW capabilities designed to survive and operate in contested spectrum environments.

WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK

• Integrate the datalink onto platform compute: embedded Linux bring-up, drivers, deployment images, OTA updates, and secure boot.

• Build network management: node identity, configuration and key distribution, health monitoring, and remote diagnostics of fielded nodes.

• Own automated logging as a deliverable in its own right: time-aligned at both ends of the link and detailed enough to serve as evidence for programme milestones.

• Implement telemetry and video transport (UDP/TCP, RTP) and the interfaces to ground control stations and our C2 software.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION

• Embedded Linux experience beyond the application level: bring-up, drivers, and product deployment.

• Networking at packet level, including how UDP and TCP behave under loss.

• You have integrated software onto a physical system (vehicle, robot, or aircraft) and you treat the log as a design object, not an afterthought.

• C/C++, Python, and Yocto or a comparable build system.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with the PX4, ArduPilot, or MAVLink ecosystem, ideally from a UAS manufacturer.

• Video transport over constrained or lossy links.
