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 — providing operators with a decisive edge in contested environments.
We are 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.
Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and 2D manufacturing drawings for structural and mechanical components using SolidWorks.
Design mechanical interfaces, brackets, and custom enclosures for electronic hardware, propulsion units, and sensor payloads.
Develop physical dummy models and test fixtures to support hardware-in-the-loop and integration testing.
Conduct initial tolerance stack-up analyses, fit-check assessments, and basic stress hand calculations for structural assemblies.
Collaborate with procurement and external manufacturing partners to deliver machined, sheet metal, and 3D-printed parts on schedule.
Own and manage the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) for mechanical assemblies and ensure accurate component tracking.
Support Digital Mock-Up (DMU) management, including center of gravity (CoG) estimations and EBOM updates.
Participate in design reviews (PDR/CDR) and assist in documenting minutes of meetings, open points, and failure mode analyses (FMEA).
Assist in hands-on assembly, integration, and laboratory testing of mechanical subsystems at our Munich facility.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
1–2 years of practical experience (or relevant internship/project experience) in mechanical design and CAD modeling (SolidWorks, CATIA, or Siemens NX).
Sound knowledge of mechanical design principles, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and material selection.
Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and basic workshop tools.
Strong problem-solving skills with a practical, hands-on approach to engineering challenges.
Professional fluency in English (written and spoken); German proficiency is a plus.
Experience in the aerospace, defense, or unmanned autonomous systems (UAS/drone) industries.
Familiarity with composite materials design, lay-up techniques, and structural manufacturing processes.
Experience with structural stress analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools (e.g., Ansys, Nastran, or SolidWorks Simulation).
Knowledge of PLM/PDM systems, EBOM structures, and document management.
If you're interested in building the future of European Defence with us, and you see yourself reflected on the description above, please send us your CV in English. We're looking forward to meeting you!
