STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop and manufacture high performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.
We’re focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems - not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe - today.
As a Junior FPGA Engineer, you will join our specialized hardware team to develop the high-speed digital logic that powers our autonomous platforms. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and testing FPGA-based solutions that process complex signals in real-time.
This role is ideal for a high-potential engineer who wants to move beyond simulation and see their code interact with the physical world. You will work closely with senior mentors to bridge the gap between digital signal processing theory and hardware realisation.
We are looking for candidates with experience in some or all of the following areas:
RTL Design: Develop and maintain high-speed digital logic using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
IP Management: Integrate and configure third-party IP cores and interface with high-speed ADCs/DACs.
Documentation: Maintain clear design specifications, register maps, and version-controlled HDL repositories.
Proficiency in VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.
Competency in Python or C/C++ for scripting and testing support.
Curiosity-Driven: You have a deep desire to understand how things work at the register level.
Effective Communicator: You can explain your logic design clearly to both software and hardware teams.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering.
0-2 years of experience (relevant internships or personal hardware projects are highly valued).
Knowledge of System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures (e.g., Zynq).
Interest in software-defined radio (SDR) architectures.
