Description
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 — providing operators with a decisive edge in contested environments. We are 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 You'll make flight test campaigns actually happen, turning engineering readiness, range availability, and a maze of permits into a schedule that holds. As STARK's flight test cadence increases across our CUAS program, you'll be the person who keeps test sites, ground crews, and approvals moving in sync, with Germany as the operational hub and the rest of Europe in scope when a campaign needs it.
This role exists because flight testing only creates value when the aircraft actually gets in the air on schedule.
Responsibilities
Plan and coordinate flight test campaigns across multiple programs, aligning schedules with engineering readiness, range availability, and safety sign-off. Own the logistics chain for test execution: range bookings, airspace clearances (NOTAMs), and regulatory approvals across German and other European test sites. Act as the central coordination point between flight test engineers, systems/payload teams, ground crew, and safety officers before and during campaigns.
Track and escalate schedule risks and blockers to program leadership in terms they can act on, not just status updates, but decisions they need to make. Coordinate equipment, personnel, and ground support transport to and from test sites across Europe. Run pre-test readiness checks and post-test debriefs, capturing action items and lessons learned so they actually get fixed before the next campaign.
