About Us
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.
Select, design, and integrate RF hardware including SDRs, antennas, filters, LNAs, power amplifiers, and front-end modules
Define system-level requirements and ensure RF systems meet performance, environmental, and regulatory standards
Develop robust communication architectures for UAV command, control, telemetry, and payload data transfer
Support the design and integration of electronic warfare functions such as signal detection, jamming, spoofing, and RF hardening
Perform RF simulations, link budget calculations, and range performance modeling
Work with mechanical and systems engineers on antenna placement, EMC/EMI mitigation, and SWaP optimization
Evaluate and qualify COTS and custom RF components for use in military platforms
Plan and execute lab testing, range validation, and flight trials of RF systems
Ensure compliance with NATO STANAGs, MIL standards (e.g. MIL-STD-461, 464, 810), and relevant frequency allocation regulations
Degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related discipline
5+ years of experience in RF systems design, ideally in aerospace, defense, or tactical communications
Solid experience with software-defined radios, RF front-end design, and antenna system integration
Knowledge of RF propagation, modulation schemes, spectral efficiency, and interference mitigation
Familiar with RF test equipment (VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal generators) and RF design/simulation tools (e.g. HFSS, CST, MATLAB)
Understanding of EMC/EMI principles and ruggedization of RF systems for harsh environments
Familiarity with relevant military standards and NATO STANAGs for communication and EW systems
Awareness of civil UAV certification requirements (e.g. SC-Light UAS) is a plus
Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills
Eligible for security clearance (or already holds one)
Fluent in English; German is beneficial, additional languages are a plus
