Full-Time
Your mission is to fly STARK's multirotor platforms flawlessly under real-world, high-visibility conditions, at home in Germany and internationally. You are the live proof of what the systems can do, and the first impression an audience forms of STARK's engineering.
What you'll do
- Plan and fly demonstration profiles on multirotor / quadcopter platforms with high precision and repeatability in front of live audiences.
- Represent STARK's capabilities credibly and professionally to customers, partners, and military stakeholders during demonstrations and briefings.
- Adapt flight profiles quickly to changing site conditions, audiences, and short-notice requests without compromising safety.
- Travel frequently to national and international demonstration sites, ranges, trade events, and customer locations.
- Set up, configure, and pack down the demonstration kit independently, often on tight schedules and in unfamiliar environments.
- Perform pre-flight configurations, control-link verifications, and full functional system checks before every demonstration.
- Lead airspace monitoring and deconfliction, and respond decisively to anomalies in line with established safety protocols and EASA requirements.
What you'll need
- Valid EASA A1/A3 (and optional A2) Remote Pilot Certificates.
- Valid radio operator certificate (e.g., BZF) or willingness to obtain one.
- Proven hands-on piloting experience on multirotor / quadcopter platforms, including manual and GCS-assisted flight.
- Citizen of a NATO member state (due to export control and security regulations).
- High willingness to travel nationally and internationally, with flexible availability around demonstration schedules.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; German is an advantage.
- Confident, composed presence in front of audiences and stakeholders.
Nice to have
- FPV piloting experience.
- Background in military UAV operations or the defence sector.
- Additional languages relevant to international demonstrations.
