We operate with high autonomy and fast-paced startup agility, encouraging team members to challenge standard approaches and deliver lean, high-value system design.

YOUR MISSION

As an IT Systems Technician, you will be the hands-on force bridging our software and physical hardware. You will physically assemble, configure, and secure our high-performance simulator infrastructures. Whether setting up powerful Windows-based simulation rigs for external demos or configuring robust WSL/Ubuntu environments for our internal developers, you ensure our setups run flawlessly and securely.

WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK

• Assemble and maintain physical hardware infrastructures, ranging from ruggedized mobile demonstration kits to permanent, high-fidelity Simulation lab environments.
• Configure dual-ecosystem workstations, ensuring the seamless operation of Windows-based simulation engines alongside WSL/Ubuntu development environments.
• Implement strict IT security protocols, including firewall configurations and GPOs, for both internal labs and external field deployments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve physical hardware, operating system, and network bottlenecks directly at the simulation setup alongside engineering teams.
• Manage the full physical lifecycle of IT assets within the Mission Simulation team, handling everything from hardware provisioning to structured rack cabling.
• Automate routine OS installations, network configurations, and system updates using PowerShell or Bash scripts.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION

• Proven hands-on experience as an IT Systems Technician, Systems Administrator, or in a similar hardware integration role.
• Strong expertise in assembling, troubleshooting, and maintaining physical hardware and simulator infrastructures, including structured rack cabling.
• Solid knowledge of configuring dual-ecosystem workstations (Windows engines and WSL/Ubuntu environments).
• Experience applying IT security protocols, GPOs, and firewall configurations.
• Ability to write PowerShell or Bash scripts for OS deployment and configuration automation.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with mobile demonstration kits and field deployment setup.
• Familiarity with high-fidelity simulation environments or defense technology hardware setups.
• Prior experience working in cross-functional engineering and research teams.
