<p><em>Minerva is STARK's command and control software — the brain that connects operators to autonomous systems across multiple domains in real time. The Minerva team is a small, senior software group based in Berlin and Munich, working directly with our systems and hardware teams to build mission-critical C2 capabilities deployed in active operational environments.</em><br><em>We move fast, ship real software, and operate under constraints most engineers never encounter — low-bandwidth networks, air-gapped devices, high-stakes decision loops. There is no room for abstraction for its own sake. Everything we build ends up in the hands of real operators in the field.</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Your Mission</strong></span></p>
<p><em>You will be developing cutting-edge Computer Vision solutions and algorithms for our autonomous vehicles, bringing these onto our hardware in real time.</em></p>
