We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&D backing. About the Team Mission Simulation is STARK's digital proving ground — the tactical environment where our entire ecosystem of UAVs, surface vessels, and EW systems converges. The Mission Simulation team is a small, specialized group based in Munich, working closely with our platform and C2 teams to integrate all multi-domain assets into high-fidelity, Software-in-the-Loop simulators. We move fast, ship realistic environments, and build for three core purposes: rigorous testing, high-stakes demos, and tactical training. There is no room for gamification. We simulate the reality of combat — from complex swarm logic to EW degradation — ensuring that developers can fail fast, and real soldiers can train safely before hitting the battlefield. Your Mission As a Systems Integration & QA Engineer, you are the critical link between our physical simulation hardware and our software development team. You will physically assemble our simulator setups and rigorously test the software environments running on them. By building our QA processes from the ground up, you ensure that every simulation runs flawlessly, and you provide highly detailed, actionable feedback to our software engineers before any system is used for high-stakes training or customer demos. Responsibilities Assemble and configure physical simulator hardware setups, integrating PCs, networking gear, and tactical peripherals (e.g., VR, HOTAS) to create realistic testing environments. Execute comprehensive software testing within the Mission Simulation environment (e.g., VBS4, custom C++ modules) to identify bugs, performance bottlenecks, and tactical inaccuracies. Design and establish foundational QA testing protocols, test plans, and bug-tracking workflows from scratch. Collaborate directly with the software engineering team, translating simulator performance issues into clear, actionable technical feedback and bug reports. Validate software updates and new releases on the physical simulator setups to guarantee stability before they are deployed for customer demos or tactical training. Reproduce complex software and integration bugs systematically to assist developers in rapid resolution. Required Skills Degree in IT, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. 3+ years of experience in software QA testing, system integration, or a similar role bridging IT hardware and software development. Hands-on experience assembling IT/simulator hardware and configuring operating systems (Windows and Linux). Proven ability to define and build QA processes, write structured test plans, and manage bug-tracking workflows. Strong technical communication skills to effectively translate user-end bugs into actionable data for software developers. Nice-To-Have Familiarity with simulation engines (e.g., VBS4, Unreal, Unity) or complex tactical gaming environments. Basic scripting skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell) to automate repetitive software testing or OS configuration tasks. Experience in the defense sector or foundational knowledge of military operations/tactics to help evaluate simulation realism. Fluent English (C1 preferred). German language skills are advantageous but not required. Equal Opportunity: At Stark Defence, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and high-performing team.

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 Us STARK is a European defence technology company building the next generation of unmanned systems. We design, develop and manufacture software-defined, mass-scalable and cost-effective platforms that give NATO operators a decisive edge in highly contested environments. We are focused on delivering deployable, high-performance capability — not future promises. In a time of rising threats, our work strengthens the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners. About the team You will join our hardware engineering team, working closely with engineers across propulsion, power systems, testing, and aircraft development to turn measured data into better-performing unmanned systems. Your mission Your mission is to work hands-on with the parts of the aircraft that turn stored energy into flight: the motors, the batteries, and the propulsion and power components that decide how far, how fast, and how long our platforms fly. You support the hardware team from bench characterisation through data analysis in MATLAB and Python. You aren't just swapping components on a bench; you are helping generate the measured evidence that decides what actually flies — and learning how unmanned hardware is designed, tested, and pushed to its limits. Responsibilities Support characterisation and bench testing of motors, propellers, batteries, and power components for our UAS platforms. Help set up test rigs and instrumentation, and capture clean, repeatable measurement data. Assist with component selection and trade-offs by turning test data into clear comparisons. Reduce and analyse test data in MATLAB and Python — efficiency, thrust, endurance, thermal and discharge behaviour. Visualise results so the engineering team can make decisions from them quickly. Keep test setups, measurements, and findings documented and traceable. Qualifications Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or a comparable engineering field. Working knowledge of MATLAB and Python for data analysis. Interest in and some exposure to UAS, electric propulsion (motors / ESCs), or battery / power systems. Must be a citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations). Practical, hands-on mindset — comfortable at the bench and with a multimeter as much as in a script. Good written and verbal communication skills in English; German is a plus. Hands-on: You like building, measuring, and finding out what really happens. Rigorous: You trust clean measurements over assumptions. Curious: You want to understand why a component behaves the way it does. Nice to have Experience with test benches, DAQ, or measurement instrumentation. Familiarity with battery testing, thermal behaviour, or motor/propeller characterisation. Personal projects with drones, RC aircraft, batteries, or robotics.
