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

As a Test Design Engineer (Field Engineer) within the Electronic Warfare (EW) division, you will bridge the gap between development and real-world execution. This role is heavily focused on the test design, validation, and field deployment of advanced RF communications and electronic attack (jamming) systems. You will design rigorous test methodologies, simulate contested electromagnetic environments, and lead field-testing campaigns to ensure our technologies dominate the modern battlespace.

Responsibilities

Develop comprehensive test plans, procedures, and automated test scripts for EW systems, specifically focusing on RF communications, signals intelligence (SIGINT), and electronic countermeasures (ECM/Jamming).

Lead and execute field-testing campaigns in complex, dynamic, and austere environments. Troubleshoot hardware, software, and RF link issues on-site.

Design and replicate real-world threat environments using RF signal generators, channel simulators, and software-defined radios (SDRs) to test jamming efficacy and communications resilience (e.g., frequency hopping, LPI/LPD waveforms).

Collect, process, and analyze massive datasets from field tests using MATLAB, Python, or specialized RF analysis tools to quantify system performance and identify anomalies.

Partner with systems, hardware, and software engineering teams to feed field data back into the…
