Working Student – Flight Software Engineering (PX4 / Autopilot) (all genders)

About Us

STARK is a European defence technology company building the next generation of unmanned systems. We design, develop and manufacture software-defined, mass-scalable and cost-effective platforms that give

NATO operators a decisive edge in highly contested environments. We are focused on delivering deployable, high-performance capability — not future promises. In a time of rising threats, our work strengthens the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners.

Your mission

Your mission is to work hands-on with the software that flies our aircraft. You support the flight software team on the PX4 / autopilot stack — writing and testing Python tooling, wrangling flight logs, and helping turn what happens in the air into something the engineers can act on.

You aren't just running scripts on the side; you are contributing to the autopilot layer that every other capability on the aircraft depends on — and learning how real flight software is built, tested, and flown

Responsibilities

• You support the development and testing of PX4 / autopilot software, from configuration to log analysis.
• You write and maintain Python tooling for test automation, data processing, and flight-log analysis.
