Senior Electronics Engineer (All Gender)

STARK is a European defence technology company building the next generation of unmanned systems. Determinism, hardware-level security, and sub-millisecond reaction times are the backbone of our airborne computing architecture.

Your Mission

You own the electrical subsystem architecture of the Gambit platform — from high-voltage propulsion distribution down to precision sensor power rails and flight computer avionics. You aren't just designing a circuit board; you are building the nervous system and power backbone that keeps an aircraft stable and responsive under extreme flight loads and environmental stress.

Responsibilities

• Architect power distribution boards (PDB), avionics motherboards, sensor interface cards, and payload power supplies.

• Design multi-layer, high-density PCBs adhering to strict mass, thermal, and IPC-2221/IPC-A-610 standards.

• Own component selection, derating calculations, and power tree efficiency optimizations.

• Lead electrical integration, EMC/EMI shielding strategy, and ground-loop elimination across high-current powertrain and sensitive RF avionics.

• Define and document electrical ICDs interfacing powertrain, compute, datalink, and payload.

• Mentor junior and mid-level electrical engineers through design reviews and lab bring-up.

Required Skills

• 5–8 years of experience in hardware development, electronics design, and PCB layout for aerospace, robotics, or automotive applications.

• Proven track record bringing complex electromechanical systems through schematic, layout, fabrication, and flight qualification.

• Advanced proficiency in ECAD tools (Altium Designer / KiCad).

• Deep knowledge of switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), battery management, reverse-polarity protection, high-current switching, and transient suppression.

• Strong practical experience with lab equipment (high-speed oscilloscopes, electronic loads, thermal cameras).

• Professional working proficiency in English.

• Must be a citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations).
