About Us
STARK is a defense technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high-performance unmanned vehicles that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective – giving NATO and its allies a decisive edge in the most contested environments.
Your Mission
As a Robotics Engineer with a focus on embedded perception systems, you will play a critical role in enabling real-time autonomy onboard next-generation UAV platforms. You will work directly with camera data pipelines, ROS2-based systems, and embedded compute platforms to build robust, efficient, and scalable perception functionality.
Responsibilities
- Develop and integrate real-time perception pipelines on embedded platforms such as the Jetson Nano NX.
- Migrate legacy monolithic systems to ROS2, refactoring and modularizing components for better scalability and maintainability.
- Enable and optimize image data access across native and containerized components.
- Design and implement low-level camera and sensor drivers for real-time vision acquisition.
- Collaborate with AI, controls, and hardware teams to ensure tight integration between perception and other onboard subsystems.
- Profile and debug system performance under embedded constraints, ensuring stability and robustness in field deployments.
- Contribute to system-level architecture discussions with a focus on communication reliability and modularity.
Requirements
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
- Strong experience with ROS2, including real-world deployment and integration of perception modules.
- Proficient in Python and C++ for embedded and robotics development.
- Solid background in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded development, or aerospace applications.
- Familiarity with embedded Linux platforms, particularly NVIDIA Jetson devices.
- Experience integrating containerized processes into onboard robotic systems.
- Ability to navigate and coordinate between different frameworks.
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, especially in real-time or resource-constrained environments.
- Effective communicator and team player in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Self-driven, organized, and adaptable to fast-paced development cycles.
- Willingness to travel occasionally for field testing and deployment.
