About the Position
At Stark, we forge the future of European and national security through cutting-edge, AI-driven technology and unmatched engineering precision.

We are currently seeking an Electrical Design Engineer (All Genders) to join our team in Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece.
Why Join Us?

- You will work alongside industry-leading minds on autonomous systems, advanced propulsion, and secure cyber platforms.
- We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&D backing.
Your Mission
You will turn electrical concepts and schematics into complete, production-ready design packages and wiring systems optimized for rapid manufacturing and maintenance. You aren't just drafting wire diagrams; you are ensuring that hundreds of aircraft can be assembled with zero wiring errors and absolute repeatability on the factory floor.
Responsibilities
- Harness Documentation: Transform R&D electrical schematics into production-ready 2D/3D wire harness documentation, connector pinout tables, and comprehensive BOM packages.
- Cable Routing & 3D Packaging: Create and maintain detailed 3D cable routing models, pinout tables, and production electrical packages within CAD/PLM environments.
- BOM & Component Lifecycles: Manage electronic component lifecycles, qualify second-source alternatives to prevent supply chain delays, and maintain standardized CAD footprint libraries.
- Manufacturing Collaboration: Collaborate directly with manufacturing technicians to refine cable routing paths, connector accessibility, and shielding in accordance with IPC/WHMA-A-620.
- Production Bring-Up: Support production line bring-up and resolve part obsolescence or supply chain alternate part validations.
- DFMA Optimization: Partner with production leads to optimize wire dressing and connector accessibility in compact avionics bays.
Requirements
- 2–5 years in electrical CAD design, harness engineering, or electrical drafting in aerospace, automotive, or industrial machinery.
- Proficiency with ECAD tools and harness design software (e.g., EPLAN, Altium, SolidWorks Electrical, or KiCad).
- Strong knowledge of connector families (Glenair, Harwin, Amphenol, JST), wire gauge selection, shielding, and strain relief.
- Understanding of IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards.
- Working proficiency in English; NATO citizen.
