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. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe.

Your mission

As a UAV Test Pilot at STARK, you are the critical link between digital design and physical reality. Working in lockstep with Flight Test Engineers, you will be responsible for the planning, execution, and reporting of flight tests for experimental, developmental, and modified production systems.

Your mission is to push our airframes to their limits to validate performance, ensure compliance with international standards, and prove the safety of our designs. You aren't just "flying drones", you are validating the next generation of autonomous flight technologies that will protect Europe. Whether you are executing high-performance manual maneuvers or monitoring complex BVLOS autonomous missions, your feedback will directly shape the software and hardware of the future.

Responsibilities

Flight Operations & Execution

Conduct remote piloting of unmanned aircraft during development and validation campaigns, often in full-manual mode to test the raw flight envelope.
Execute flight tests with surgical precision according to the flight test programme.
Monitor live telemetry and onboard video streams, maintaining total situational awareness of aircraft health and test status.
Coordinate seamlessly with GCS operators, observers, and engineers in a high-pressure team environment.

Test Planning & Preparation

Contribute operational expertise to test site selection, flight profiles, hazard analysis, and weather constraints.
Prepare UAV systems, including pre-flight configuration, control link verification, and functional system checks.
Assist with the integration and ground verification of flight-critical hardware and software.

Safety, Regulatory & Documentation

Act as the final authority on safety for each sortie, conducting risk assessments and responding to anomalies or emergency situations.
Maintain airspace deconfliction in accordance with SORA and EASA regulatory requirements.
Participate in briefings/debriefings, providing structured, technical feedback on aircraft behavior.
Support licensing and documentation to build long-term test capabilities across Germany and Europe.

Your First 12 Months

Timeframe

Focus

Month 0–1: Onboarding

Master the STARK tech stack. Get familiar with our current airframes, GCS software, and safety protocols. Complete local site inductions and shadow existing flight operations.

Month 1–3: Integration

Begin executing standard test cards. Support the engineering team in ground-testing new components and take your first "stick time" with experimental prototypes.

Month 3–6: Mission Lead

Lead flight test campaigns for specific subsystem validations. Contribute significantly to SORA applications and expand our operational footprint in Europe.

Month 6–12: Advanced Testing

Execute complex BVLOS and high-performance envelopes. Start transitioning toward Flight Test Engineering (FTE) tasks, including data analysis and test director responsibilities.

Qualifications

Experience & Certifications

Valid EU A1/A3 and A2 Remote Pilot Certificates (EASA).
Valid radio operator certificate (e.g., BZF) or the ability to obtain one immediately.
Demonstrable manual piloting skills of high-performance fixed-wing and multirotor UAVs (precision take-offs, landings, and maneuvering in tight spots).
Experience with professional GCS software, mission planning tools, and telemetry monitoring.
Must be a citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations).

Technical Mindset

Familiarity with test operations under BVLOS and experimental conditions.
Skilled in maintaining situational awareness during long, complex multi-aircraft operations.
A problem-solving mindset—you don’t just report a bug; you help the engineers find the "why."
Excellent written and verbal communication in English.

Mindset & Style

Disciplined: You follow test cards to the letter but stay agile when a plan changes last minute.
Reliable: High attention to detail with a "safety-first" internal compass.
Startup Ready: You thrive in a fast-paced environment where your role evolves as the company grows.

Nice to Have

Previous experience as a Flight Test Engineer or holding a PPL/CPL/ATPL.
Hands-on experience tuning Ardupilot or PX4 autopilot systems.
Background in military UAV operations or defense contracting.

Why STARK

Shape the Future: A unique opportunity to influence the trajectory of autonomous flight tech.
Fast-Paced Growth: Flat hierarchies and a decision-heavy environment —no red tape, just results.
The Best Tools: Access to cutting-edge drone hardware and dedicated test facilities.
Career Path: Development pathway toward Senior Flight Test Engineer or Test Director roles.
Competitive Package: Salary that reflect your value to the mission.
