Permanent employee, Full-time
STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionising the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop, and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.
We are focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems, not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe today.
Your mission
We’re looking for a Program Manager who will take ownership of a new hardware product from early-stage development to readiness for large-scale use. You’ll coordinate cross-functional teams, structure the workflow, and ensure that engineering, testing, and production streams move in sync.
The role involves working on a technically complex platform with many moving parts — engineering, electronics, software integration, testing processes, and preparation for future scaling.
