Senior Mesh Network and MAC Engineer (All Genders)

Descripción del puesto

About Us STARK is a defence technology company redefining the engineering and deployment of autonomous platforms. Our core mission is to deliver fully operational unmanned systems, integrating the critical subsystems, including Electronic Warfare, necessary for NATO forces to maintain a decisive advantage in contested environments. We do whatever is required to achieve platform autonomy, grounded in precision, responsibility, and uncompromising engineering discipline. About the team We are a lean, agile group with a strong systems-minded focus. We operate without silos, looking for proactive engineers who are excited to take mathematical models off the whiteboard and deploy them onto physical hardware. On our Electronic Warfare algorithms team, you will bridge the gap between theoretical signal processing and real-world hardware execution, taking direct ownership of key software and firmware modules. Your mission At STARK, we are building the next generation of autonomous platforms capable of navigating the world's most contested environments. As a Senior Mesh Network and MAC Engineer you will solve the critical challenges of directional wireless communication in highly dynamic networks. You will design and implement the medium access control (MAC) and routing layers that allow our platforms to form robust, self-healing networks under demanding tactical conditions. Responsibilities Architect and implement MAC protocols and routing algorithms tailored for directional multi-node systems, directly tackling the challenge of neighbour discovery under highly focused, narrow beams. Build dynamic TDMA schedules and beam coordination mechanisms in lockstep with the physical layer (PHY) and antenna steering systems, ensuring routing decisions are grounded in real-time RF characteristics rather than simple hop counts. Deliver resilient multi-hop relay capabilities that sustain high-bandwidth video and control links between mobile platforms over tactical distances, routing back
