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.
We are focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems today.
As a Systems Engineer, you will be a key architect of reliability and performance for our next-generation autonomous platforms.
You will support a safety-by-design approach, ensuring that complex mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems work in perfect harmony.
This is a hands-on role where you will manage cross-functional integration, lead hazard analyses, and validate system integrity through rigorous testing and compliance reporting.
Work daily with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to bridge the gap between high-level requirements and low-level design.
Lead Preliminary Hazard Analyses (PHA) and System/Subsystem Hazard Assessments (SHA/SSHA) to identify and mitigate risks early in the design cycle.
Define and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and system architecture layouts to manage complex data and power flows.
Maintain requirements baselines and end-to-end traceability using industry-standard tools like IBM DOORS.
Conduct impact assessments for design changes to ensure system safety and performance are never compromised.
Participate in rapid development sprints and field test campaigns, resolving engineering hurdles in real-time and maintaining strict configuration control.
Degree in Systems, Aerospace, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related Engineering discipline.
A strong grasp of the Systems Engineering V-model and an interest in safety-critical, autonomous platforms.
Familiarity with diverse systems such as power distribution, RF, sensors, or embedded controllers through projects or professional experience.
Ability to thrive in a high-growth startup environment and willingness to travel for field testing across the UK and Europe.
Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) or digital twin concepts.
Background in rapid prototyping or working within a fast-paced hardware-software startup.
