Software Test Engineer

About Us

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.

Your mission

As a Software Test Engineer you will be responsible for establishing, maintaining, and executing automated testing frameworks for a wide range of software components across frontend and backend systems. Your work will ensure our mission-critical software for unmanned systems meets the highest standards in robustness, reliability, and customer-facing quality.

Responsibilities

• Establish and continuously improve testing frameworks, tools, and environments in alignment with project and product needs.

• Implement automated tests for APIs, services, UI components, and integration scenarios.

• Ensure coverage of functional, performance, and regression tests across multiple software components and releases.

• Maintain replicability and consistency of test environments to support long-term reliability.

• Develop detailed and traceable documentation of test plans, test cases, and results suitable for customers and certification bodies.

• Provide clear, structured reporting on software quality, risks, and release readiness to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Collaborate with developers, product owners, security teams, and customer engagement managers to align testing activities with project objectives.

• Support the adoption of test automation best practices within agile development workflows (Scrum).

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field.

• 3+ years of experience in software testing, with a strong focus on automated testing of complex systems.

• Hands-on experience with test frameworks such as Google Test, Boost.Test, Robot Framework, or similar.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.) for automated test integration.

• Solid understanding of testing methodologies (unit, integration, system, regression, end-to-end).

Nice to have:

• Experience with mission critical systems
• Experience in defence, aerospace or automotive industries
• Familiarity with test automation for AI-related components, APIs and data pipelines
• Knowledge of security testing principles and tools
• Experience in generating customer-facing, audit-complient test documentation.
