ABOUT US

STARK is a European defence technology company founded in 2023, specialising in the development and production of advanced UAV and

USV systems for modern military operations. Our flagship platform, Virtus, is a next-generation VTOL loitering munition system,

and we are rapidly expanding our software and autonomy capabilities to deploy Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for maritime

surveillance and security.

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.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Minerva is STARK's command and control software — the brain that connects operators to autonomous systems across multiple domains

in real time. The Minerva team is a small, senior software group based across the UK, Germany, Greece & Ukraine working directly

with our systems and hardware teams to build mission-critical C2 capabilities deployed in active operational environments.

We move fast, ship real software, and operate under constraints most engineers never encounter — low-bandwidth networks,

air-gapped devices, and high-stakes decision loops. There is no room for abstraction for its own sake. Everything we build ends up

in the hands of real operators in the field.

YOUR MISSION

We are seeking a highly skilled QA Engineer to take ownership of system-level and integration testing for our maritime autonomy

platforms and prototype boats. You will bridge the gap between pure software quality assurance and hardware/software integration,

working hands-on with hardware, software, and communication interfaces—both in the laboratory and out in the field on prototype

vessels.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Test Strategy & Execution: Develop and maintain test plans, scripts, integration procedures, and safety checklists for embedded

marine solutions.

Diagnostics & Defect Localization: Perform hardware/software diagnostics, defect localization, and root-cause analysis on

physical prototype boats.

System Integration Testing: Validate how pure software components interface and integrate with marine autopilots, thrusters,

steering systems, and payload hardware.

Interface Protocols: Test and verify communication interfaces and protocols (MAVLink, RS485, TCP/IP, RTSP video streaming) as

part of diagnostics and system verification.

Marine Safety Validation: Verify critical safety-critical fail-safe mechanisms including remote emergency shutdowns,

geolocation geofencing, and offline update/recovery systems.

Loop Testing Support: Help setup, maintain, and run tests in Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) test

environments.

Collaboration: Interact closely with software development, systems, and field flight/marine testing teams to log, track, and

eliminate errors in a timely manner.

Documentation: Prepare clear testing reports, bug reports, and product stability/safety reviews in Jira and Confluence.

QUALIFICATIONS

Minimum of 3+ years of experience in hardware testing, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, or embedded systems QA.

Strong understanding of software testing theory (functional, integration, system, regression) combined with hands-on hardware

troubleshooting.

Experience working with embedded communication protocols (MAVLink, CAN, RS485, etc.).

Strong knowledge of Linux systems and experience writing test scripts in Bash and/or Python.

Familiarity with test management tools (Jira, Confluence) and version control (Git).

Basic understanding of electronics, multimeters, and laboratory diagnostics equipment.

Ability to write clear, structured test documentation and reports in English.

Willingness and ability to work on physical boats during harbor/sea trials and in field-testing environments.

STARK Defence UK has achieved the ERS - The Defence Employer Recognition Bronze award 2026

We fuse together exceptional talent who deliver outstanding software solutions. Our approach has helped us grow 60% in 2021, 94% in 2022, while in 2023 we joined forces with Insight, a Fortune 500 company and a leading solutions and systems integrator. With exciting growth plans and cutting-edge projects, there has never been a better time to join our incredible team. DESCRIPTION A global maritime technology organization, established through the collaboration of leading aviation and maritime industry experts, combines aviation-grade digital capabilities with deep maritime operational knowledge to deliver the next generation of digital solutions for the shipping industry. The company develops innovative products on a unified, cloud-native, and composable platform designed to accelerate digital transformation across maritime operations. We are seeking a skilled Business Analyst to play a pivotal role in shaping, clarifying, and enabling delivery across a strategic transformation portfolio. This is a value-centric role operating at the intersection of business intent, product strategy, platform capabilities, and delivery execution. Business Analysis is not viewed as a downstream documentation function. The Business Analyst actively collaborates with Product Owners, Product Managers, Project Managers, Architects, and Engineering teams to ensure that business needs are correctly understood, coherently structured, and translated into deliverable outcomes that realise value. BUSINESS ANALYST RESPONSIBILITIES Business & Value Analysis * Engage with business stakeholders, domain experts, and operational teams to understand needs, pain points, objectives, and constraints across maritime operations and digital processes. * Analyse and articulate business problems and opportunities, ensuring they are framed in a way that supports value-driven decision-making. * Define and document business requirements, outcomes, and success measures with clarity, precision, and traceability to the company's objectives. * Support value identification and prioritisation by helping Product and Delivery leadership understand impact, dependencies, and trade-offs. Product & Delivery Collaboration * Work closely with Product Owners to refine epics, features, and user stories, ensuring clarity of intent, acceptance criteria, and readiness for delivery. * Partner with Product Managers to ensure business analysis aligns with product strategy, roadmap direction, and desired customer or operational outcomes. * Collaborate with Project Managers to ensure requirements are sequenced, scoped, and structured in a way that supports predictable and integrated delivery. * Act as a connective tissue between business, product, and delivery disciplines, ensuring shared understanding and reducing rework and ambiguity. Requirements Definition & Structuring * Translate complex business needs into clear, structured artefacts such as user stories, use cases, process models, functional/non-functional requirements, and data definitions. * Ensure requirements are complete, consistent, testable, and aligned with platform standards and architectural principles. * Support backlog readiness by ensuring requirements are sufficiently elaborated ahead of delivery without over-specification. * Maintain traceability between business objectives, requirements, delivery items, and realised outcomes. Process, Data & Domain Modelling * Analyse and model business processes (current and future state), identifying inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities for improvement through digital solutions. * Contribute to data and domain modelling efforts, ensuring shared understanding of key business entities, relationships, and rules across teams. * Support SmartSea’s platform and composable architecture approach by helping ensure business logic and processes are consistently expressed across products and services. Delivery Support & Validation * Support delivery teams during implementation by clarifying requirements, answering questions, and validating understanding. * Participate in reviews, demos, and acceptance activities to ensure delivered solutions meet intended business needs and quality expectations. * Work with QA and stakeholders to support acceptance testing and validation of outcomes against defined requirements and success criteria. Continuous Improvement & Ways of Working * Contribute to the continuous improvement of the company's analysis practices, templates, and standards within the Value Delivery / Enterprise Value Office construct. * Identify recurring issues in requirement clarity, handovers, or decision-making and propose practical improvements. * Support the evolution of the company's system of work by promoting clarity, shared language, and evidence-based decision-making. Ways of Working * Operate effectively within a product-led, hybrid Agile delivery environment, adapting analysis depth and approach based on context, risk, and delivery needs. * Balance upfront analysis with iterative discovery, avoiding both under-specification and analysis paralysis. * Facilitate workshops, refinement sessions, and working discussions that improve alignment, shared understanding, and decision quality. * Promote transparency, collaboration, and accountability across business, product, and delivery teams. BUSINESS ANALYST REQUIREMENTS * Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience). * 3–6 years of experience in a Business Analyst role within digital, software, or platform-based environments. * Proven experience working within Agile or product-centric delivery models. * Strong experience in requirements elicitation, user story definition, acceptance criteria, and process modelling. * Familiarity with techniques such as BPMN, use cases, process mapping, and value stream analysis. * Strong ability to reason about business outcomes, constraints, and trade-offs, not just features. * Comfortable collaborating with engineers and architects, with sufficient technical literacy to challenge assumptions and clarify feasibility. * Exposure to SaaS platforms, cloud-native architectures, or low-code environments is an advantage. * Strong understanding of Agile, Scrum, and Kanban practices, particularly backlog refinement and sprint collaboration. * Ability to manage multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and evolving requirements. * Structured, detail-oriented mindset combined with strong systems thinking. * Excellent analytical, written, and verbal communication skills. * High attention to detail, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability. * Comfortable operating in ambiguity and helping teams move from problem space to clarity.
