Software Engineer Electronic Warfare (m/f/d)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Berlin

About Us
STARK is a defence technology company redefining how autonomous and electronic warfare systems are engineered and deployed. We design, build, and operationalise high-performance EW and unmanned systems that provide NATO forces with decisive advantages in contested electromagnetic environments. Our work is grounded in precision, responsibility, and uncompromising engineering discipline.
Your mission
You will design, develop, integrate, and test advanced Electronic Warfare capabilities on STARK’s internal hardware platforms, enabling superior performance across complex and highly dynamic RF environments.
Responsibilities
  • Develop high-performance C++ software enabling advanced EW functions and real-time signal processing.

  • Design and implement RF waveforms for sensing, disruption, and secure communications.

  • Integrate wireless and cable-based data formats (e.g., QAM-64, QPSK) into operational systems.

  • Build and refine jamming capabilities tailored to mission requirements and threat profiles.

  • Contribute to electronic situational awareness tools, guidance algorithms, and RF-centric mission effects.

  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary hardware and systems teams to align software, RF, and platform design.

  • Conduct rigorous integration testing to ensure stability, reliability, and consistent performance in EW environments.

Qualifications
  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ (memory management, concurrency, performance optimisation).

  • Understanding of RF fundamentals and the electromagnetic spectrum.

  • Clear and structured communication skills for cross-functional technical collaboration.

  • Ability to work with precision, methodical testing discipline, and strong security awareness.

Relevant Backgrounds

  • RF spectrum engineering, radio communications, or electromagnetic systems.

  • Radar, X-ray systems, radiowaveform development, or software-defined radio.

  • Complex signal-processing environments and mathematically driven system design.

Nice-to-Have / Bonus Skills

  • Hands-on experience with RF waveform design and amateur radio.

  • Familiarity with wireless & cable-borne data formats (QAM-64, QPSK).

  • Exposure to jamming theory, threat-driven RF effects, and EW tactics.

  • Experience in signal processing and mathematical modelling (Fourier methods, modulation theory, filtering, etc.).

  • Strong interest in physics, electromagnetic propagation, and waveform engineering.
