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. 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 Junior Quality Control Specialist, you serve as a vital part of our quality firewall, ensuring that
all incoming mechanical parts meet the high-precision standards required for the defense sector.
You are responsible for the physical verification of materials against technical specifications, the
identification of deviations, and the maintenance of quality data. Beyond daily inspections, you play
a proactive role in building the organization’s quality infrastructure by improving documentation
and supporting data-driven process controls.
Responsibilities
- Incoming Mechanical Inspection: Perform detailed physical, dimensional, and visual inspections on a variety of mechanical parts to verify compliance with technical drawings and specifications.
- Non-Conformance Management: Identify and document material defects by creating
Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs), ensuring that all "bad parts" are clearly labeled and isolated from
production. - SPC Data Creation: Collect and process measurement data for specific projects to create Statistical
Process Control (SPC) records, helping to monitor and maintain high-level manufacturing quality. - Organizational Development: Contribute to the growth of the quality department by assisting in the
creation of inspection templates, refining workflows, and organizing technical documentation. - Measurement & Tooling: Operate standard measurement equipment (calipers, micrometers,
gauges) and ensure all tools are handled and stored according to calibration standards. - Drawing Interpretation: Review and interpret engineering drawings and technical data sheets to
determine the necessary inspection criteria for each batch.
Qualifications
- Education: Completed technical education, degree, or a comparable qualification in
Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field. - Experience: 0–2 years of experience in Quality Control or a manufacturing environment;
experience with mechanical or electronic components is highly valued. - Software Proficiency: Experience with QM software or ERP systems (e.g., Babtec, SAP, or
similar tools) for documenting inspections and managing non-conformances. - Technical Skills: Proficiency in using standard measurement tools (calipers, micrometers,
etc.) and the ability to interpret technical drawings and schematics. - Quality Standards: Basic knowledge of ISO 9001; familiarity with defense or aerospace
standards (e.g., NATO AQAP or EN 9100) is a plus. - English: Good written and spoken skills for documentation
Nice to have
German: Strong advantage for internal communication and following local technical
instructions.
