About this role
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.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Our Electronic Warfare (EW) team is a close-knit group dedicated to designing and building critical defence technologies that perform reliably in contested environments. We operate with a hands-on, highly collaborative working style where engineering and production work side by side from day one. In this role, you will bridge the gap between initial prototyping and scalable manufacturing, directly supporting our core engineers to transform early concepts into field-ready hardware.
YOUR MISSION
As a Production Technician, you will drive the hands-on assembly and iteration of our electronic warfare hardware, starting with small-scale production. You will work closely with our core engineering team to establish, test, and refine manufacturing processes that prepare our products for larger-scale production.
WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK
-
Assemble, wire, and test small-scale electronic warfare hardware components.
-
Collaborate closely with core design engineers to translate CAD models and engineering designs into physical prototypes.
-
Establish, document, and test initial assembly processes to lay the foundation for streamlined, larger-scale production.
-
Identify design and manufacturing bottlenecks during build cycles and recommend practical design-for-manufacturability (DFM) improvements.
-
Perform low-level electronic troubleshooting, bench testing, and continuous hardware tweaking on complex sub-assemblies.
-
Maintain a clean, safe, and organized shop environment while managing bench-level production tools and components.
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION
-
Hands-on practical experience in electronics assembly, wiring, and hardware fabrication ("tinkering" or mechanical/electrical assembly).
-
Fundamental understanding of basic electronics concepts, circuit testing, and reading schematic diagrams.
-
Proven ability to read and work from CAD designs, engineering drawings, and technical assembly documentation.
-
Collaborative mindset with strong communication skills to work side-by-side with R&D and systems engineers.
-
Demonstrated problem-solving ability when building and troubleshooting complex mechanical/electronic prototypes.
NICE TO HAVE
-
Prior experience working within the defence sector or on autonomous systems/UAV hardware.
-
Familiarity with IPC standards for soldering and electronic assembly.
-
Experience taking a prototype hardware product through transition to full-scale manufacturing.
If you're interested in building the future of European Defence with us, and you see yourself reflected on the description above, please send us your CV in English. We're looking forward to meeting you!
SECURITY CLEARANCE
Due to the nature of our work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position. Details will be provided during the recruitment process.
