About Us
STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionising 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 - providing operators with a decisive edge in contested environments.
We are 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
Responsibilities
Early-Stage R&D Collaboration & Manual Assembly Solutions
Pre-Production Design Input: Partner with R&D during the initial prototyping and design phases to review manual assembly steps. Propose design modifications that simplify manual handling, reduce component orientation complexity, and minimize assembly errors.
Predictive Labor Costing: Utilize MTM methodologies on early-stage CAD models and prototypes to estimate standard assembly times, helping R&D evaluate the labor-cost impact of different design variations.
Mistake-Proofing (Poka-Yoke): Work with R&D to define physical design features (e.g., asymmetrical alignment pins, keyed slots) that make incorrect manual assembly physically impossible.
Ergonomic Design Guidance: Ensure R&D designs avoid requiring excessive physical force, awkward hand postures, or specialized dexterity, protecting operators from repetitive strain injuries once the product hits mass production.
Work Measurement & MTM
Time & Motion Analysis: Apply MTM methodologies (MTM-1, MTM-2, or UAS) to analyze manual assembly operations, establish precise standard times, and eliminate waste.
Line Balancing & Layout: Design and continuously optimize production line balancing to eliminate bottlenecks, distribute workloads evenly, and maximize throughput.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
Certified MTM practitioner (strongly preferred) with proven experience applying time-study and work-measurement methodologies on a live production floor.
Strong background in Lean Manufacturing, workplace ergonomics, and facility layout design.
