## Job description

At Stark, we forge the future of European and national security through cutting-edge, AI-driven technology and unmatched engineering precision. As a premier defence technology company, our mission is clear: to equip NATO Allies and their partners with next-generation autonomous defence platforms and advanced AI-driven software built to perform in the world’s most demanding environments.

We believe that true security stems from relentless innovation. By combining elite engineering talent with agile technology and an AI-native operational culture, Stark turns complex defence challenges into field-tested, multi-domain solutions.

### WHY JOIN US

- The software and systems you work on directly protect personnel and defend European and national sovereignty.

- You will work alongside industry-leading minds on autonomous systems, advanced propulsion, and secure cyber platforms.

- We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&D backing.

### ABOUT THE TEAM

Mission Simulation is STARK’s digital proving ground — the tactical environment where our entire ecosystem of UAVs, surface vessels, and EW systems converges. The Mission Simulation team is a small, specialized group based in Munich, working closely with our platform and C2 teams to integrate all multi-domain assets into high-fidelity, Software-in-the-Loop simulators. We move fast, ship realistic environments, and build for three core purposes: rigorous testing, high-stakes demos, and tactical training. There is no room for gamification. We simulate the reality of combat — from complex swarm logic to EW degradation — ensuring that developers can fail fast, and real soldiers can train safely before hitting the battlefield.

### YOUR MISSION

As a Systems Integration & QA Engineer, you are the critical link between our physical simulation hardware and our software development team. You will physically assemble our simulator setups and rigorously test the software environments running on them. By building our QA processes from the ground up, you ensure that every simulation runs flawlessly, and you provide highly detailed, actionable feedback to our software engineers before any system is used for high-stakes training or customer demos.

### WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK

- Assemble and configure physical simulator hardware setups, integrating PCs, networking gear, and tactical peripherals (e.g., VR, HOTAS) to create realistic testing environments.

- Execute comprehensive software testing within the Mission Simulation environment (e.g., VBS4, custom C++ modules) to identify bugs, performance bottlenecks, and tactical inaccuracies.

- Design and establish foundational QA testing protocols, test plans, and bug-tracking workflows from scratch.

- Collaborate directly with the software engineering team, translating simulator performance issues into clear, actionable technical feedback and bug reports.

- Validate software updates and new releases on the physical simulator setups to guarantee stability before they are deployed for customer demos or tactical training.

- Reproduce complex software and integration bugs systematically to assist developers in rapid resolution.

### WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION

- Degree in IT, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

- 3+ years of experience in software QA testing, system integration, or a similar role bridging IT hardware and software development.

- Hands-on experience assembling IT/simulator hardware and configuring operating systems (Windows and Linux).

- Proven ability to define and build QA processes, write structured test plans, and manage bug-tracking workflows.

- Strong technical communication skills to effectively translate user-end bugs into actionable data for software developers.

### NICE TO HAVE

- Familiarity with simulation engines (e.g., VBS4, Unreal, Unity) or complex tactical gaming environments.

- Basic scripting skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell) to automate repetitive software testing or OS configuration tasks.

- Experience in the defense sector or foundational knowledge of military operations/tactics to help evaluate simulation realism.

- Fluent English (C1 preferred). German language skills are advantageous but not required.

If you're interested in building the future of European Defence with us, and you see yourself reflected on the description above, please send us your CV in English. We're looking forward to meeting you!

### SECURITY CLEARANCE

Due to the nature of our work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position. Details will be provided during the recruitment process.

### EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

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, colour, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

**Live in Skdse’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
