Senior Flight Dynamics Integration Engineer (Wayland) (All genders)
About this role
At Stark, we forge the future of European and national security through cutting-edge, AI-driven technology and unmatched engineering precision. As a premier defence technology company, our mission is clear: to equip NATO Allies and their partners with next-generation autonomous defence platforms and advanced AI-driven software built to perform in the world’s most demanding environments. We believe that true security stems from relentless innovation.
By combining elite engineering talent with agile technology and an AI-native operational culture, Stark turns complex defence challenges into field-tested, multi-domain solutions. Why Join Us? The software and systems you work on directly protect personnel and defend European and national sovereignty. You will work alongside industry-leading minds on autonomous systems, advanced propulsion, and secure cyber platforms.
We foster a fast-paced, collaborative environment where bold ideas are supported by serious R&D backing. ABOUT THE TEAM You will join our Open Source Aero Simulation team, dedicated to building and scaling next-generation autonomous flight systems. We focus on developing, validating, and implementing end-to-end aerodynamic and flight dynamics workflows built primarily on open-source tools and simulation frameworks. By integrating cutting-edge AI agents with open-source platforms, we accelerate rapid prototyping, multidisciplinary design optimization, and mission-critical aircraft analysis.
We operate in an agile, hands-on environment where open engineering and cross-disciplinary innovation drive everything we build. YOUR MISSION As a Senior AI & Flight Dynamics Integration Engineer, you will own and develop an AI-driven autonomous aircraft design and optimization workflow at STARK. You will integrate LLMs and AI agents with aerodynamics, CFD, flight dynamics, and multidisciplinary simulation tools to accelerate rapid prototyping and aircraft development.
Your mission is to automate complex engineering decision-making loops and deliver highly performant, software-defined flight platforms. WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK Develop LLM and AI Agent-based engineering workflows to interpret aircraft requirements and support iterative design decisions. Automate parametric aircraft geometry using OpenVSP, Python, and STEP-based CAD workflows. Integrate Flow5 (VLM / Panel Methods) and OpenFOAM CFD to build aerodynamic databases including C_L, C_D, C_m, C_p, and stability derivatives.
