Senior Electronics Engineer EW (All Genders)

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 electronic warfare (EW) and unmanned systems that provide NATO forces with decisive advantages in contested electromagnetic environments.

About the Team

We are a lean, agile group with a strong systems-minded focus. We operate without silos, looking for senior engineers who thrive on end-to-end technical leadership and cross-domain problem solving.

Your Mission

You will architect and drive the design, integration, and deployment of mission-critical Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities across STARK's platforms. Serving as a technical authority for critical hardware and RF systems, you will guide architecture from concept through simulation, layout, and field validation.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end board design using Altium Designer, setting standards for High-Density Interconnect (HDI) techniques, stackup strategies, and complex high-frequency routing
• Oversee the design, simulation, and implementation of custom RF components, matching networks, and signal conditioning chains
• Direct antenna design and placement simulations using CST Studio Suite and Altair FEKO to optimize platform-level RF performance
• Drive the mechanical packaging and electro-mechanical integration of hardware systems
• Establish rigorous testing, debugging, and validation frameworks to guarantee hardware survivability and performance
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, review technical designs, and contribute to long-term hardware roadmaps

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional engineering experience leading complex electronic, RF, or hardware systems development
• Expert-level proficiency in Altium Designer, with a track record of successfully bringing complex HDI, high-speed, and high-frequency PCBs to production
• Deep experience in RF circuit design, matching network optimization, and electromagnetic simulation using CST Studio Suite, Altair FEKO, or similar tools
• Proven ability to define multi-layer hardware architectures and translate broad operational requirements into robust engineering specifications
• Advanced system-level debugging capability across hardware, RF, software, and firmware boundaries
• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications, or Mechatronics Engineering
• Direct experience in Defence, Aerospace, Telecommunications, or high-reliability hardware sectors
• Deep familiarity with RF spectrum management, signal processing techniques, or Software-Defined Radio (SDR) architectures
