Arbeitsbeschreibung - Autopilot Engineer (Control)

About Us

STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionising 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

As an Autopilot Engineer you will develop, adjust, and maintain flight controller firmware and autopilot systems that enable stable, reliable, and high-performance control of unmanned platforms under real-world operational constraints.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain autopilot firmware for all systems (PX4-based systems)
Develop and customise our gimbal system for all systems
Implement and tune low-level control loops (PID, LQR, rate, attitude, and actuator control)
Work directly with flight controllers (MCU-based systems) and embedded hardware
Develop and integrate sensor drivers (IMU, barometer, magnetometer, GPS, air data)
Optimize real-time performance on constrained systems (NuttX / RTOS environments)
Interface high-level autonomy (ROS2) with low-level autopilot systems (MAVLink / DDS bridges)
Perform hardware-software integration, calibration, and validation
Support pre-arm checks, safety systems, and failsafe mechanisms
Debug issues across firmware, drivers, and hardware layers
Conduct HIL/SIL testing and real-world flight tests
Document system architecture, tuning procedures, and validation results

Qualifications

Integrated Master;s (Dipl. Eng.) or higher in Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, or Applied Mathematics & Physical Sciences (TEMFE).
Strong foundation in mathematics and physics (dynamics, kinematics)
Deep understanding of flight dynamics and control principles
Hands-on experience with PX4 systems and MAVLink Protocol
Experience with flight controllers and embedded microcontrollers (MCUs)
Strong C/C++ programming skills (embedded / real-time systems)
Experience developing low-level firmware and sensor drivers
Familiarity with IMU, barometer, magnetometer, GNSS, air data sensors
Understanding of real-time operating systems (e.g. NuttX)
Experience with system integration and hardware debugging
Strong debugging and performance tuning skills

Nice to have

Experience with ArduPilot or PX4 internals (uORB, WorkQueues, modules)
Knowledge of uXRCE-DDS, or ROS2 integration
Experience with hardware bring-up and PCB-level debugging
Familiarity with redundant IMU architectures and sensor voting
Experience with high-shock environments
Understanding of safety-critical systems and failsafe design
MATLAB / Python for control tuning and analysis
