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.

Your mission

We are looking for a Guidance & Control Engineer to design and implement advanced algorithms for UAV autonomy. In this role, you will work at the intersection of control theory, navigation, and real-world testing — turning mathematical models into reliable flight behavior.

Responsibilities

  • Develop guidance, control, and stabilization algorithms for UAVs.
  • Research and implement control algorithms that adapt to changing environments and system dynamics.
  • Apply filtering methods (Kalman and others) and integrate control logic in ROS2 / C++.
  • Integrate algorithms with autopilot systems (PX4 / ArduPilot).
  • Plan and run field experiments, analyze logs, and debug UAV behavior.
  • Collaborate closely with embedded, testing, and manufacturing teams.

Qualifications

  • Strong experience in C++14/17/20 and Python for multi-module projects.
  • Solid background in Linux development (terminal, logs, networking).
  • Practical experience with ROS2.
  • Deep knowledge of guidance algorithms, Kalman filters, control theory, and dynamic system modeling.
  • Hands-on experience developing guidance or control systems for real objects.
  • Research-driven approach: from system-wide analysis to field validation.

Nice to have

  • Experience with PX4 or ArduPilot.
  • HIL / SIL testing and simulators (Gazebo, AirSim).
