About Us
STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing 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.
Were focused on delivering deployable high-performance systems - not future 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
Architect and scale a global supplier quality ecosystem that creates a zero-defect gateway between Design and Series Productionbuilding the systems standards and automated processes that enable multi-plant growth without increasing manual workload.
Responsibilities
Design implement and continuously improve global supplier quality processes within the QMS including CAQ deployment and standardized inspection frameworks
Lead supplier qualification onboarding evaluation audits and ongoing performance monitoring
Own supplier non-conformance management (SCAR/CAPA) root cause analysis and enforcement of Quality Assurance Agreements (QAA)
Drive APQP PPAP and FAIR processes optimizing inspection resources through risk-based part categorization (Critical vs. Low Risk)
Act as the technical bridge between Engineering and Supply Chain translating key characteristics and design intent into manufacturable supplier standards
Lead DFMEA and process risk reviews to prevent defects before series production (Process Defense)
Conduct on-site supplier audits to resolve systemic process failures and ensure ISO/industry compliance
Standardize global inspection plans to ensure consistent Pass criteria and trusted data across plants
Proactively mitigate supply chain risks impacting cost delivery and performance while reducing internal inspection effort
Ensure supplier compliance with regulatory environmental and customer-specific requirements (e.g. REACH RoHS NATO aerospace/defense standards) and mentor junior staff on low-risk validations
Qualifications
BSc/MSc in Mechatronics Electronics Industrial Engineering or related technical field
5 years experience in Supplier Quality Engineering Quality Management or Supplier Development (aerospace automotive or defense preferred)
Proven expertise in supplier lifecycle management (evaluation onboarding FAI/PPAP approval performance monitoring)
Strong hands-on knowledge of APQP PPAP FMEA/DFMEA Control Plans MSA and core quality tools (8D 5 Why Ishikawa CAPA)
Experience conducting supplier audits and working within ISO 9001 (EN9100/VDA 6.3 desirable)
Strong analytical and root cause problem-solving capabilities in complex production environments
Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems (e.g. SAP QM) MS Office and quality management software
