(Senior) Robotics Software Engineer (All genders)

&lt;div class=&quot;content-intro&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;At Stark, we forge the future of European and national security through cutting-edge, AI-driven technology and unmatched engineering precision. As a premier defence technology company, our mission is clear: to equip NATO Allies and their partners &amp;nbsp;with next-generation autonomous defence platforms and advanced AI-driven software built to perform in the world’s most demanding environments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;We believe that true security stems from relentless innovation. By combining elite engineering talent with agile technology and an AI-native operational culture, Stark turns complex defence challenges into field-tested, multi-domain solutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;WHY JOIN US&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The software and systems you work on directly protect personnel and defend European and national sovereignty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;You will work alongside industry-leading minds on autonomous systems, advanced propulsion, and secure cyber platforms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&amp;amp;D backing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Team&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Minerva is STARK&#39;s command and control software — the brain that connects operators to autonomous systems across multiple domains in real time. The Minerva team is a small, senior software group based in Berlin and Munich, working directly with our systems and hardware teams to build mission-critical C2 capabilities deployed in active operational environments.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;We move fast, ship real software, and operate under constraints most engineers never encounter — low-bandwidth networks, air-gapped devices, high-stakes decision loops. There is no room for abstraction for its own sake. Everything we build ends up in the hands of real operators in the field.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Mission&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;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.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You will contribute as a highly skilled individual contributor—hands-on with the system—bridging diverse codebases and enabling data flows across native ROS2 nodes, legacy frameworks, and containerized third-party modules. Your work will be essential to ensuring that our autonomous systems operate reliably in real-world, resource-constrained environments.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Develop and integrate real-time perception pipelines on embedded platforms such as the Jetson Nano NX.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Migrate legacy monolithic systems to ROS2, refactoring and modularizing components for better scalability and maintainability.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enable and optimize image data access across native and containerized components (e.g., Dockerized ROS2 processes).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Design and implement low-level camera and sensor drivers for real-time vision acquisition.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Collaborate with AI, controls, and hardware teams to ensure tight integration between perception and other onboard subsystems.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Profile and debug system performance under embedded constraints (compute, thermal, bandwidth), ensuring stability and robustness in field deployments.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Contribute to system-level architecture discussions with a focus on communication reliability and modularity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required Skills&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strong experience with ROS2, including real-world deployment and integration of perception modules.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proficient in Python and C++ for embedded and robotics development.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Solid background in robotics, autonomous systems, embedded development, or aerospace applications.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Familiarity with embedded Linux platforms, particularly NVIDIA Jetson devices.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Experience integrating containerized processes (e.g., Docker) into onboard robotic systems.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ability to navigate and coordinate between different frameworks (ROS2, legacy/custom codebases, third-party modules).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, especially in real-time or resource-constrained environments.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Effective communicator and team player in multidisciplinary engineering teams.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Self-driven, organized, and adaptable to fast-paced development cycles.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Willingness to travel occasionally for field testing and deployment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;content-conclusion&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re interested in building the future of European Defence with us, and you see yourself reflected on the description above, please send us your &lt;strong&gt;CV in English&lt;/strong&gt;.
