Киев, Киев, Украина STARK Полный рабочий день 80 000 $ - 120 000 $ в год

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're looking for a
Program Manager
who will take ownership of a new hardware product from early-stage development to readiness for large-scale use. You'll coordinate cross-functional teams, structure the workflow, and ensure that engineering, testing, and production streams move in sync.

The role involves working on a technically complex platform with many moving parts — engineering, electronics, software integration, testing processes, and preparation for future scaling.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the execution of a new hardware product from concept and requirements to delivery.
  • Structure the program roadmap: milestones, dependencies, timelines, risks.
  • Coordinate engineering, testing, manufacturing, procurement, and quality teams.
  • Work closely with technical leads to clarify requirements, constraints, and priorities.
  • Track progress, resolve blockers, manage resources, and keep delivery predictable.
  • Prepare the product roadmap for future scaling and production readiness.
  • Keep documentation, specifications, and change logs consistent and up to date.
  • Run regular syncs, reviews, and readiness checks across teams.
  • Communicate program status to leadership and highlight risks early.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years in Program/Project Management within hardware-related domains (aviation, electronics, robotics, embedded systems, complex R&D).
  • Ability to work with early-stage hardware concepts and bring structure to fast-changing environments.
  • Good understanding of hardware development phases: design → prototyping → testing → production prep.
  • Ability to read and understand technical requirements, specs, BOMs, and integration constraints.
  • Strong cross-functional coordination skills.
  • Fluent communication in English and Ukrainian.
  • Ownership mindset and ability to manage ambiguity.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with high-reliability systems (robotics, aerospace, defense, industrial machinery).
  • Understanding of embedded systems, electronics, mechanical design or manufacturing processes.
  • Experience preparing products for scaling or transitioning into production.
  • Familiarity with Jira/Confluence or similar tools.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

We are an equal-opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law. Due to the nature of our work in the defense sector, candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for the position.
