About the Role
About UsSTARK is a European defence technology company building the next generation of unmanned systems. Wedesign, develop and manufacture software-defined, mass-scalable and cost-effective platforms that giveNATO operators a decisive edge in highly contested environments. We are focused on deliveringdeployable, high-performance capability — not future promises. In a time of rising threats, our workstrengthens the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners.Your missionYour mission is to work hands-on with the software that flies our aircraft. You support the flight softwareteam on the PX4 / autopilot stack — writing and testing Python tooling, wrangling flight logs, and helpingturn what happens in the air into something the engineers can act on.You aren't just running scripts on the side; you are contributing to the autopilot layer that every othercapability on the aircraft depends on — and learning how real flight software is built, tested, and flownResponsibilities● Support the development and testing of PX4 / autopilot software, from configuration to loganalysis.● Write and maintain Python tooling for test automation, data processing, and flight-log analysis.● Help reproduce, isolate, and document software issues found in simulation and flight test● Process and visualise flight and telemetry data to make system behaviour observable to theengineering team.● Support the loop between test results and software changes, so findings actually drive the nextiteration.● Keep tooling, scripts, and documentation clean and reusable.Qualifications● Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering,Aerospace, or a comparable technical field.● Hands-on experience with Python, ideally including data processing or automation.● Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, or comparable autopilot / flight control systems.● Must be a citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations).● Available 20 hours per week during the semester, with flexibility around your studies.● Good written and verbal communication skills in English; German is a plus.Find Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
