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

The People & Talent Acquisition team at STARK acts as a high-tempo growth engine, embedded directly alongside our engineering and systems divisions. We do not run transactional recruitment; we operate as tactical advisors to technical leadership, mapping niche markets and engaging hard-to-reach subject matter experts. Our culture values autonomy, speed, intellectual curiosity, and deep domain fluency. In this role, you will sit at the crossroads of advanced hardware, software-defined systems, and signal technology, directly scaling the teams that build our spectrum dominance capabilities.

YOUR MISSION

As Talent Partner for Electronic Warfare & Advanced RF Communications, you will lead end-to-end recruitment for mission-critical engineering disciplines operating across the electromagnetic spectrum. You will partner closely with systems architects and R&D leaders to headhunt top-tier engineers developing resilient communications, electronic attack/protection systems, and high-reliability wireless hardware. Your work will directly expand STARK’s technical capabilities in spectrum-denied and extreme operational environments.

WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK

• Lead end-to-end talent acquisition for specialized engineering roles across Electronic Warfare (EW), RF Systems, Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and advanced communication links.
• Partner with technical directors and lead architects to calibrate complex requisitions, define structured assessment scorecards, and execute targeted search strategies.
• Map and headhunt passive engineering talent across defence primes, advanced telecommunications, aerospace R&D, and high-reliability hardware manufacturers.
• Engage and evaluate engineers with niche backgrounds.
• Provide strategic insight on European talent distribution, specialized market availability, clearance constraints, and competitive benchmarking.
• Drive a high-touch, consultative candidate experience from outbound engagement through technical deep-dives, offer extension, and clearance pre-screening.
• Maintain transparent pipeline reporting, conversion metrics, and candidate records within Personio.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION

• Proven track record in full-lifecycle recruitment within Electronic Warfare (EW), RF/Microwave Engineering, Radar, High-Reliability Communications, or related aerospace and defence disciplines.
• Demonstrated experience hiring specialized hardware and embedded systems talent.
• Fluency in English.
• Proven direct-sourcing expertise across niche engineering networks, specialized technical forums, and security-conscious research communities.
• Track record of establishing high-credibility partnerships with senior engineering leaders in rigorous, high-bar hiring environments.
• High degree of autonomy, structured execution, and the agility to adapt in a fast-paced defence tech scale-up.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience recruiting engineers familiar with mission-critical architectures, long-range communications, or extreme environment / radiation-hardened electronics.
• Familiarity with national or NATO security clearance verification processes.
• Established network within European aerospace R&D institutes, telecommunications labs, or defence engineering clusters.
• Working knowledge of Personio or modern ATS and sourcing automation tools.

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!
