About Us
The SVP for Aerial Hardware Leadership (OWE Program) will own the full hardware lifecycle of STARK’s long-range aerial systems from concept design through qualification, production, and operational deployment. This role drives system integration across structures, propulsion, flight controls, payload interfaces, and mission systems, ensuring technical excellence and delivery velocity across a multi-platform portfolio.
You will lead a cross-functional engineering organization spanning mechanical design, propulsion integration, composites manufacturing, and test & validation. This position demands deep aerospace systems expertise, proven leadership in certified or mission-critical programs, and the ability to scale industrial capability under strict NATO export-control frameworks.
Your mission
Lead the hardware backbone of Europe’s next generation of aerial systems.
You will take ownership of how our long-range platform flies, survives, and delivers — from structural concept to flight-ready system. Your mission is to turn advanced engineering into deployable capability: reliable, modular, and field-proven.
You’ll align mechanical design, propulsion, and system integration under one intent — to deliver aerial dominance built in Europe.
