Test Engineer (All Genders)

About the Position

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 with next-generation autonomous defence platforms and advanced AI-driven software built to perform in the world’s most demanding environments.

We are currently seeking a Test Engineer (All Genders) to join our team in Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece.

Why Join Us?

• The software and systems you work on directly protect personnel and defend European and national sovereignty.
• 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 set up, execute, and document subsystem functional tests, environmental screening, and automated bench tests, turning raw measurements into clean verification data. You aren't just pushing buttons on a test rig; you are ensuring that every hardware revision is systematically stress-tested before it ever reaches a flight vehicle.

Responsibilities

• Test Article Instrumentation: Instrument test articles with strain gauges, load cells, thermocouples, and accelerometers to execute scripted physical stress and endurance tests on mechanical assemblies.
• DAQ Telemetry & Python Processing: Capture multi-channel Data Acquisition (DAQ) telemetry, process raw test data with automated Python scripts, and plot test datasets.
• Fixture Wiring & Maintenance: Build, wire, and maintain mechanical and electrical test setups, sensor harnesses, and bench-level test fixtures.
• Anomaly Teardowns: Log non-conformances, capture anomaly logs, and assist design engineers in conducting root-cause teardowns following structural and thermal tests.
• Bug Fix Verification: Verify hardware and firmware bug fixes on test benches prior to flight clearing.
• Documentation & Calibration: Maintain test bench hardware, cabling, and calibration logs.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of professional experience in test engineering, hardware validation, or lab measurement.
• Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent.
• Experience with DAQ hardware, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and environmental chambers.
• Practical scripting skills in Python for data acquisition and automated analysis.
• Understanding of basic measurement uncertainty and sensor calibration principles.
• Working proficiency in English; NATO citizen.
