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.

• 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.

• Maintain working relationships with external test ranges, civil aviation authorities, and host-nation contacts to keep access reliable as activity scales.

• Build and maintain the checklists, templates, and processes that let flight test coordination scale without everything running through institutional memory.

• Experience coordinating technical field operations, test campaigns, or similarly logistics-heavy activities, aviation, aerospace, defence, or motorsport backgrounds all transfer.

• Working knowledge of European airspace regulations, NOTAM processes, and UAS/aircraft test permitting — or a demonstrated ability to pick it up fast.

• Comfortable operating as the hub between multiple technical and non-technical stakeholders under real time pressure.

• Strong organizational instincts, with the ability to absorb last-minute schedule changes without losing track of dependencies.

• Willingness to travel regularly across Europe, including extended stretches at test sites.

• Professional English, German or any other European language will considered a plus

• Execution-focused mindset: solves logistics problems on-site, doesn't just flag them and wait.

• Direct experience on UAS or manned aircraft flight campaigns.

• Existing relationships with German test ranges, civil aviation authorities (e.g. LBA), or host-nation test infrastructure.

• Background in safety/range operations or test QA.

• Experience scaling test operations as program cadence ramps up.
