<div class="content-intro">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 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. 
Why Join Us?
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The software and systems you work on directly protect personnel and defend European and national sovereignty.</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">You will work alongside industry-leading minds on autonomous systems, advanced propulsion, and secure cyber platforms.</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&D backing.</li>
</ul></div>About the Team
At the heart of our robotic platforms are robust sensor networks and reliable operating systems. As a Robotics Product Owner, you will be the vital link between high-level system requirements and daily engineering execution.
Your Mission
<div class="TranslationField-module__fieldItem___g4pRX">
You will guide a cross-functional team of hardware and software engineers through a rapidly growing portfolio of projects. By taking inputs from system engineers and program managers, you will ensure the team always has clear, actionable, and prioritized work, while keeping the broader organization informed of our technical capabilities.
</div>
Responsibilities
<ul>
<li>Translate Needs: Work closely with system engineers and program managers to break down complex system requirements into clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria for the engineering team.</li>
<li>Push the Backlog: Regularly align with the team lead to manage and prioritize the team's backlog across the hardware and software stack, balancing long-term foundational architecture with immediate project milestones.</li>
<li>Drive Execution: Facilitate daily alignment across the team—from hardware engineers working on optics and supplier specs, to software engineers building out embedded systems and sensor overlays—to unblock work and keep sprints moving smoothly.</li>
<li>Document Capabilities: Maintain clear, accessible, and up-to-date documentation of our technical capabilities, system resources, and sprint outcomes so stakeholders always know what the team can deliver.</li>
<li>Evaluate & Accept Work: Review completed engineering work against requirements, navigating collaborative trade-offs when friction arises between hardware constraints, embedded software performance, and project timelines.</li>
</ul>
Required Skills
<ul>
<li>Experience: 3+ years of experience as a Technical Product Manager, or similar roles, specifically working on hardware-software integrated products, robotics, IoT, or complex technical platforms.</li>
<li>Technical Literacy: You are comfortable reviewing technical structures, navigating code repositories on GitLab, and collaborating effectively with software engineers.</li>
<li>Systems Thinking: A solid understanding of the robotics and embedded tech stack. You should feel comfortable discussing sensor calibration, edge computing (like Jetson platforms), driver integration, and overall system architecture.</li>
<li>Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex concepts clearly, acting as the bridge between deeply technical engineers and higher-level program managers.</li>
</ul>
Nice-To-Have
<ul>
<li>Familiarity with sensor hardware lifecycles and optics.</li>
<li>Experience with embedded Linux, Jetson carrier boards, or base image configuration.</li>
<li>Experience with Agile frameworks in a hardware context.</li>
<li>Previous experience working in the defense, aerospace, or autonomous vehicle sectors.</li>
<li>Fluent English (C1 preferred). German language skills are advantageous but not required.</li>
</ul><div class="content-conclusion">Equal Opportunity:
At Stark Defence, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and high-performing team. We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and identities.
