About the role

STARK is a defence technology company focused on autonomous systems, designing, building, and deploying high‑performance platforms. You will own the flight control and navigation stack, developing the control and state‑estimation foundation that every other system depends on while growing a team of engineers. This leadership role demands deep GNC experience, proven production deployments, and strong collaboration with hardware, perception, and systems teams.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
