ABOUT THE TEAM

Our Hardware & Assembly Production team is responsible for assembling precision aerial hardware to support next-generation defence capabilities. We collaborate closely in cleanroom environments to maintain exact technical standards and high performance across all autonomous systems. As an assembly technician, you will play a crucial role in bringing critical optical components from production to active field readiness.

YOUR MISSION

You will assemble electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor gimbals and downward optical-flow navigation cameras to strict technical specifications and aerospace quality standards. In a precision clean assembly environment, you will perform mechanical lens alignment, balance tuning, and precision harness soldering for miniature slip-rings.

WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK

• Assemble electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor gimbals and downward optical-flow navigation cameras following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Perform mechanical lens alignment, dynamic balance tuning, and precision harness soldering for miniature slip-rings and micro-connectors.
• Execute automated optical calibration and gimbal stabilization checks on bench test fixtures prior to final airframe installation.
• Perform in-process visual inspections, mechanical fit checks, and torque verifications with calibrated micro-torque drivers.
• Maintain workstations clean, organized (5S cleanroom standards), and properly stocked with calibrated tools, optical wipes, and consumables.
• Flag assembly defects, component mismatches, or optical deviations immediately to the production lead.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION

• Technical vocational training or 1+ years of experience in manual electro-mechanical assembly, precision optics, camera assembly, or electronics manufacturing.
• Skilled in using fine hand tools, precision torque drivers, calipers, microscopes, and fine-pitch soldering equipment.
• Ability to follow written assembly instructions, optical alignment protocols, and technical drawings accurately.
• Basic to working knowledge of English.
• Must be a citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations).

NICE TO HAVE

• Knowledge of Greek language.
