Software Engineer Electronic Warfare (m/f/d)

About Us

STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing 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. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.

We’re 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.

Qualifications

• Strong engineering skills at both the systems design and detailed implementation levels.
• Strong proficiency in modern C/C++ (memory management, concurrency, performance analysis).
• Significant interest in physics/RF or a strong preexisting understanding of RF processing fundamentals and the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Clear and structured communication skills for cross-functional technical collaboration.

Relevant Backgrounds

• General software engineering and architecture for high performance systems
• RF spectrum engineering, radio communications, or electromagnetic systems.
• Radar, X-ray systems, radiowaveform development, or software-defined radio.
• Complex signal-processing environments and mathematically driven system design.

Nice-to-Have / Bonus Skills

• SDR software development
• Hands-on experience with RF waveform design and amateur radio.
• Familiarity with wireless & cable-borne data formats (QAM-64, QPSK).
• Exposure to jamming theory, threat-driven RF effects, and EW tactics.
• Experience in signal processing and mathematical modelling (Fourier methods, modulation theory, filtering, etc.).
• Strong interest in physics, electromagnetic propagation, and waveform engineering.

Your mission

You will design, develop, integrate, and test advanced Electronic Warfare capabilities on STARK’s internal EW platforms, developing superior performance across complex and highly dynamic RF environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and Develop high-performance C++ software enabling advanced EW functions and real-time signal processing/Post processing.
• Design and implement algorithms relating to RF sensing, disruption, and situational awareness
• Contribute to electronic situational awareness tools, guidance algorithms, and RF-centric mission effects.
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary hardware and systems teams to align software, RF, and platform design.
• Contribute to the full stack of EW capabilities, from design to testing to ensure stability, reliability, and consistent performance in EW environments.
