Stark builds the world’s most powerful electric motorcycles. From the VARG MX to the road-legal VARG EX & SM, our bikes have won world championships and are engineered to outperform anything with a combustion engine.
We’re based in Sant Boi, Barcelona, growing fast (77% year-on-year), and building a team that will take us even further. If you want to work on a product that people are genuinely obsessed with, this is it.
Stark will become the global market leader in premium motorcycles. Building premium motorcycles requires innovation and we need your help to make us succeed
Our mission is to lead the way towards a sustainable motorcycle industry, by reducing plastic and CO2 pollution.
This will be achieved by building sustainable products that are superior to traditional technology in terms of Performance, Emotion and Design.
The engineering department at Stark Future develops cutting-edge motorcycles from the
ground up. As Laboratory Technician, you will be an integral part of our testing team,
supporting the setup and day-to-day operation of our in-house physical testing laboratory.
You will work hands-on with test equipment and instrumentation, prepare and execute test
campaigns, and contribute to the continuous improvement of how we validate our motorcycle
systems.
This is a great opportunity for an engineer at the start of their career to grow in a technically
demanding environment, develop expertise in physical testing methodologies, and play a
direct role in the development of a world-class electric motorcycle.
Support the setup, commissioning, and daily operation of the physical testing laboratory, including test benches, rigs, and associated measurement equipment.
Prepare test samples, instrumentation, and test setups for scheduled test campaigns following defined procedures.
Execute component and subsystem tests — performance, durability, fatigue, and environmental — under the guidance of the Laboratory Leader.
Record, organise, and perform initial processing of test data, ensuring accurate and complete documentation of all test activities.
Maintain laboratory equipment in good working order, coordinate calibration activities, and flag anomalies or maintenance needs.
Support the build, assembly, and disassembly of motorcycle component prototypes for laboratory and on-vehicle testing.
Assist in the development and refinement of test procedures and laboratory standards.
Contribute to failure investigation activities by supporting physical inspection, sample preparation, and data collection.
Maintain a safe, organised, and well-documented laboratory environment.
Qualifications & Skills
Degree or technical qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field (BS/BEng or equivalent FP Superior / Grado in technical disciplines).
Hands-on, practical mindset — you enjoy working with physical systems and take pride in doing things properly.
Good analytical skills and attention to detail, particularly in data recording and test documentation.
Willingness to learn and develop in a technically demanding, fast-paced environment.
Ability to work methodically and follow technical procedures with precision and care.
Good team player — collaborative, proactive, and reliable.
A working level of English is required.
Experience
At least 1–2 years of experience in a mechanical or physical testing environment — laboratory, workshop, test bench, or equivalent (including internship or placement experience).
Familiarity with instrumentation and measurement basics — sensors, data acquisition, or similar hands-on experience.
Some experience with mechanical assembly, component handling, and workshop practices.
Exposure to test documentation: following test procedures, recording results, and producing structured reports.
Nice to have
Background in automotive, motorsport, or cycling product testing environments.
Experience with data acquisition or post-processing software (e.g. LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar).
Familiarity with CAD tools for reading component drawings and assembly instructions.
Some exposure to hydraulic systems, mechanical actuation, or contact mechanics.
Participation in university motorsport or engineering competition projects (Formula SAE, MotoStudent, or similar).
The chance to work on a product people are genuinely passionate about
A fast-growing company with real momentum
A creative, international team based in Barcelona
Competitive salary and benefits package
Direct access to riders, race teams, and the product — this is not a remote-from-the-product role
Subsidized lunch in our in house restaurant
Free access to our in-house gym (including weekends!)
30 days of paid vacation
