Software Engineer Electronic Warfare (m/f/d)

About Us:
STARK is a defence technology company redefining how autonomous and electronic warfare systems are engineered and deployed. We design, build, and operationalise high-performance EW and unmanned systems that provide NATO forces with decisive advantages in contested electromagnetic environments. Our work is grounded in precision, responsibility, and uncompromising engineering discipline.

Your mission:
You will design, develop, integrate, and test advanced Electronic Warfare capabilities on STARK’s internal hardware platforms, enabling superior performance across complex and highly dynamic RF environments.

Responsibilities:
• Develop high-performance C++ software enabling advanced EW functions and real-time signal processing.

• Design and implement RF waveforms for sensing, disruption, and secure communications.

• Integrate wireless and cable-based data formats (e.g., QAM-64, QPSK) into operational systems.

• Build and refine jamming capabilities tailored to mission requirements and threat profiles.

• Contribute to electronic situational awareness tools, guidance algorithms, and RF-centric mission effects.

• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary hardware and systems teams to align software, RF, and platform design.

• Conduct rigorous integration testing to ensure stability, reliability, and consistent performance in EW environments.

Qualifications:
• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (memory management, concurrency, performance optimisation).

• Understanding of RF fundamentals and the electromagnetic spectrum.

• Clear and structured communication skills for cross-functional technical collaboration.

• Ability to work with precision, methodical testing discipline, and strong security awareness.

Relevant Backgrounds

• RF spectrum engineering, radio communications, or electromagnetic systems.

• Radar, X-ray systems, radiowaveform development, or software-defined radio.

• Complex signal-processing environments and mathematically driven system design.

Nice-to-Have / Bonus Skills

• Hands-on experience with RF waveform design and amateur radio.

• Familiarity with wireless & cable-borne data formats (QAM-64, QPSK).

• Exposure to jamming theory, threat-driven RF effects, and EW tactics.

• Experience in signal processing and mathematical modelling (Fourier methods, modulation theory, filtering, etc.).

• Strong interest in physics, electromagnetic propagation, and waveform engineering.
