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’re 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.

Develop embedded and robotics software for autonomous unmanned platforms
Implement real-time software components in C/C++ for edge and embedded systems
Integrate edge and embedded software into ROS2-based autonomy stacks
Contribute to the development and integration of software for GNSS-denied and degraded navigation systems
Develop, customize, and maintain low-level drivers for embedded Linux systems and RTOS-based platforms
Support development in RTOS environments such as ChibiOS, NuttX, and FreeRTOS
Contribute to unit testing, integration testing, and system-level validation
Conduct system-level debugging, performance analysis, and software verification
Handle interface integration across sensors, compute modules, and robotic subsystems
Support simulation, SIL/HIL testing, and real-world flight and field tests
Produce technical documentation and performance analysis reports
Work closely with autopilot, guidance, and navigation system engineers to deliver robust field-ready systems
Qualifications
Excellent C/C++ skills for real-time and embedded systems, with hands-on experience in ROS2
Strong experience in firmware development for embedded systems
Strong experience in driver development and customization
Experience with Linux driver development for embedded Linux distributions
Experience with RTOS-based software development
Strong debugging, analysis, and testing skills
Good understanding of robotics software integration and distributed robotic systems
Solid understanding of GNSS-denied navigation concepts, state estimation, and navigation system fundamentals
Good understanding of coordinate frames, transformations, time synchronization, and latency handling in distributed systems
Experience with automated software testing, unit testing, and integration testing
Comfortable working across hardware-software boundaries in robotic systems
