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.\nWe are 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.\nAbout the team\nMission Simulation is STARK’s digital proving ground - the tactical environment where our entire ecosystem of UAVs, surface vessels, and EW systems converges. The Mission Simulation team is a small, specialized group based in Munich, working closely with our platform and C2 teams to integrate all multi-domain assets into high-fidelity, Software-in-the-Loop simulators.We move fast, ship realistic environments, and build for three core purposes: rigorous testing, high-stakes demos, and tactical training. There is no room for gamification. We simulate the reality of combat - from complex swarm logic to EW degradation - ensuring that developers can fail fast, and real soldiers can train safely before hitting the battlefield.\nYour mission\nUse mission simulations to strengthen our software and systems by assembling and maintaining critical software components, validating behaviours in simulated environments, and creating realistic training scenarios within our Mission Simulation Software.Responsibilities\nPerform central mission simulations incorporating whole software pipeline\n\nIntegrating software components and modules into Mission Simulation Software\n\nScripting Battle Scenarios\n\nCreate state of the art mission simulations\n\nStay current with emerging technologies and industry trends, recommending and implementing innovations to improve our products and processes\n\nDive deep into the details to identify, understand, and solve difficult technical problems\n\nConstantly be challenging requirements to determine what adds value and what is not\n\nQualifications\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n3-5 years of experience (including 2 years for exceptional candidates with strong C++ and/or simulation backgrounds - ideally VBS4).\n\nAPI experience to connect software components / modules in VBS\n\nStrong programming skills in C/C++.\n\nExperience with VBS4or comparable simulation engines (Unreal, Unity, etc.).\n\nFundamental understanding of AI data requirementsand synthetic data workflows.\n\nBasic knowledge of computer visionconcepts.\n\nFamiliarity with military operations, mission structures, or tactical environments.\n\nAbility to deliver solutions primarily for the Perception & AI team, with future expansion to other teams.\n\nStrong communication and collaboration skills in a multidisciplinary environment.\n\nAbility to work independently and take ownership of complex simulation tasks.\n\nExcellent problem-solving abilities and a structured approach to debugging.\n\nA “challenger mindset” - questioning requirements to ensure technical and operational value.\n\nGood English speaking and writing skills.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3309,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T09:27:41Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T10:20:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":23,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.533,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":112,"expected_fill_days":86,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stark-defence-simulation-engineer-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stark-defence-simulation-engineer-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T14:18:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13854,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":65021},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=65021"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstark-defence-simulation-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstark-defence-simulation-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstark-defence-simulation-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/stark-defence-simulation-engineer-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstark-defence-simulation-engineer-mfd"}]}
