About the Role
Stark is a European defence technology company building the next generation of unmanned systems. Rapid scaling requires precision engineering and reproducible manufacturing that never compromise on mission reliability. You will own the structural, kinematic, and aerodynamic packaging architecture of the Gambit airframe — including carbon-composite primary structures, high-reliability folding mechanisms, and payload bays. You aren't just designing mechanical components; you are architecting a rugged, lightweight tactical airframe that survives heavy field handling and aerodynamic loads while remaining simple to mass-produce.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical design of airframe structures, wing folding mechanisms, quick-release arms, and internal structural chassis.
- Perform FEA (structural, modal, thermal) and mass-property optimizations to meet stringent strength-to-weight targets.
- Establish GD&T standards, tolerance stack-up analyses, and mechanical interface control documents.
- Drive Design for Manufacture (DFM) for carbon-fiber composites, CNC machined aluminum, injection-molded plastics, and 3D printing.
- Lead structural qualification tests (static load, drop testing, vibration per MIL-STD-810H).
- Mentor mechanical engineers through CAD reviews and prototyping iterations.
Requirements
- 5–8 years in aerospace mechanical design, UAV structures, lightweight robotics, or precision mechanisms.
- Proven experience bringing mechanical systems from clean-sheet CAD through tooling and flight qualification.
- Advanced proficiency in parametric 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA).
- Expertise in composite design/manufacturing (prepreg, wet layup, bladder molding, sandwich panels).
- Proficiency in FEA tools (Ansys, Nastran, or SolidWorks Simulation) and GD&T per ASME Y14.5 / ISO 1101.
- Professional working proficiency in English.
- Must be a citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations).
- Candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position.
