About the Role

As STARK's flight test cadence increases across our CUAS program, you'll be the person who keeps test sites, ground crews, and approvals moving in sync, with Germany as the operational hub and the rest of Europe in scope when a campaign needs it. This role exists because flight testing only creates value when the aircraft actually gets in the air on schedule.

Responsibilities

• 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, providing decision-making information.
• 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.
• Maintain working relationships with external test ranges, civil aviation authorities, and host-nation contacts.
• Build and maintain checklists, templates, and processes to scale flight test coordination.

Requirements

• Experience coordinating technical field operations, test campaigns, or similarly logistics-heavy activities.
• Experience in aviation, aerospace, defence, or motorsport backgrounds.
• Working knowledge of European airspace regulations, NOTAM processes, and UAS/aircraft test permitting, or ability to learn quickly.
• Comfortable operating as the hub between multiple technical and non-technical stakeholders under real-time pressure.
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage last-minute schedule changes without losing track of dependencies.
• Willingness to travel regularly across Europe, including extended periods at test sites.
• Execution-focused mindset: solves logistics problems on-site.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain appropriate security clearance.
