About the Position
Senior Graphic and Brand Designer (All Genders)
Location: Munich, DE
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
About Us
STARK is a pioneering defence technology company revolutionizing the deployment of autonomous systems across multiple domains. We design, develop, and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost-effective. Our mission is to provide NATO Allies and their Partners with a decisive edge in highly contested environments by bolstering their technological capabilities.
Your Mission
We are seeking a designer who understands that typography, layout, motion, and hierarchy are structural tools. You will build, maintain, and scale a precise brand design system and be equally comfortable making things. Our work bridges the physical and digital realms, requiring a brand system that is as precise on a machined piece of equipment as it is in a digital interface.
If your design philosophy is "less, but better"-if you are fascinated by creative tech, appreciate the precise livery on industrial gear and tools, and think about brand far beyond flat 2D screens-let’s have a conversation.
Portfolio Requirements:
- Demonstrate typographic discipline
- Showcase systematic brand work
- Exhibit visual thinking across different scales
Responsibilities
- Design within and evolve a brand system
- Create clear typographic hierarchies and disciplined layouts
- Translate complex ideas into structured visual communication
- Build templates, assets, and reusable components
- Produce motion, visualizations, and presentations that explain technology
- Design across scales-from brand assets to installation visuals
Key Attributes:
- Think in grids, ratios, and systems
- Be typography-obsessed
- Care about precision, spacing, and alignment
- Be a hands-on maker
- Enjoy technology, engineering, and complex products
- Use motion and visualization to explain how things work
- Prefer clarity over decoration
This is probably not for you if:
- You want to manage, not make: This is a hands-on role. If your goal is to delegate to an agency, sit in review meetings, and art-direct from afar, you will be frustrated here.
- You rely on pre-packaged templates: We build systems from the ground up. If your workflow relies heavily on Canva, Envato, or out-of-the-box asset libraries, this isn't the right environment.
- You view design purely as marketing: We love growth, but you are not here to only churn out quick performance-marketing banners. You are here to build structural, lasting brand foundations.
- You are purely an illustrator/decorator: If you prefer adding flair and embellishment rather than stripping things down to their most functional, grid-based forms, our "less is more" philosophy will clash with your style.
Qualifications
- Proficiency in Figma, Adobe, AI
- Experience with After Effects, Blender, Cinema4D, Spline
- Strong understanding of grids, ratios, and typography
Nice to Have:
- Experience with tools like Unreal, Blender, Houdini, etc.
