Who we are

The role

The day-to-day

Own Production Pathway:

• Ensure the design is production-ready from the start: design for manufacturing, design for assembly, design for test. Every design decision should answer the question: "can a technician build unit #37 the same way unit #1 was built?"

• Own design documentation, version control, and assembly instructions. The design isn't done when the prototype works : it's done when someone who wasn't in the room can build it from the documentation.

• Support supplier selection and qualification: know which components are available at volume, which need custom development, and which are single-source risks

• Drive the transition from "engineer-built prototype" to "documented, repeatable, production-ready build" across 40 units

Drive Integration & Testing:

• Work alongside the engineering team to integrate every subsystem: flight controller (FC Board), edge compute, hydrophone array, satcom, network router, sensors

• Coordinate with the Software Tech Lead on the on-glider software stack

• Set the test strategy from bench through tank, and open-water sea trials. Move fast: first prototype in weeks/months. This is a high-pressure environment with tight timelines. We need someone who thrives under that kind of pressure.

• Build, test, learn, iterate

Break Design Deadlocks:

• Bring UUV systems experience to the decision table. When the team faces competing approaches, use your knowledge of what works underwater: what's been proven, what fails at depth, what scales to production: to define the most functional path forward based on the information available

• Not waiting for perfect data. Not deferring because someone has more experience. Assessing the options, making the call, explaining why, and moving on

• The team has deep expertise across mechanical, electrical, and embedded domains: your job is to ensure that expertise translates into decisions and forward momentum, not further analysis

Close the Design:

• Work with the existing technical team to drive Helsing's Maritime products from concept to something that can be built. Support and build on the architectural decisions already made while closing the remaining design gaps across all sub-systems (eg. hull, propulsion, variable buoyancy system, power, etc.)

• Own tradeoff calls that span mechanical, electrical, and embedded software boundaries. Be ready to explain the rationale clearly enough that the team buys in and moves forward.

• Know when a design is "good enough" to build and when it needs more iteration. Ensure the team doesn't get stuck in endless decision/refinement loops

• Think about scaled manufacturing from day one, just to prototyping
  
  

You should apply if you

• Built, integrated, tested, and deployed complex electromechanical systems. Not academic/simulated/paper.

• Systems-level decision-making across mechanical, electrical, and embedded software

• Technical decisiveness: closes tradeoffs, explains reasoning, moves on

• Pace and learning velocity: operates at startup speed, ramps up fast in new domains

• Collaborative communication: runs design reviews, manages technical output, gets buy-in

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Who we are

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards. 

As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously. 

We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications. 

The role

Our Ground to Air HMI enables air forces to operate autonomous systems in missions. We build software that is subject to significant and unorthodox technical constraints, must operate in a wide variety of constantly-changing environments, and has to support an ever-growing list of challenging use-cases. What we build ultimately ends up in the hands of real people in high-risk, high-stress situations – from mission planning to command and control (C2) and mission debrief – so must be both reliable and frictionless.

Taken together, this brings a whole host of interesting backend and frontend engineering challenges across a wide variety of fields that you’ll help us solve. To give some examples:

• Distributed systems (e.g., intermittent connectivity and eventual consistency)

• Human-autonomy teaming (e.g., HMIs for effective human oversight and control)

• Networking (e.g., long-range low-bandwidth radios and cross-medium routing)

• Real-time interfaces (e.g., tactical situation display and streaming sensor feeds)

• Deployment infrastructure (e.g., air-gapped devices and heterogenous fleets)

• Security (e.g., data sharing in low-trust, no-TLS networks and actually-secret data handling)

• Machine learning (e.g., systems for model development, storage, and dissemination)

In several of these areas, we are working near the state-of-the-art; we actively read (and sometimes implement) research papers, and often need to push even further to make theory work in practice. In others, we are applying well-known techniques to real-world situations (with real-world limitations) that have never been used in before, which requires skill, diligence, and honing a deep understanding of the underlying technologies.

The day-to-day

• Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues. At Helsing we strongly believe that unblocking others takes precedence over spending more time on your own work.

• Propose and implement new features, capabilities, algorithms, infrastructure, or even full products across our stack. We encourage our engineers to look beyond their immediate team for missed opportunities, and to speak up when they identify one.

• Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline. The people make or break the company, and we want as many engineers as possible to be part of fostering and growing the organisation.

• Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers. We host tech talks, get together for smaller “let’s learn together” groups, run topical office hours (e.g., on Rust), etc. to help each other get better with time.

• Maintain our existing software stack, including working with internal and external customers to identify issues, improving operational reliability and performance, and fending off technical debt. The stack is a mix of Rust, Python, and TypeScript, with Python mainly living in the ML-heavy sections, TypeScript being used in our UIs, and Rust being used in backends, onboard, and embedded software.

• Further develop our tests and benchmarks, both at the micro and macro level. We operate in a domain where robustness is of the utmost importance, and an extensive and ever-improving test suite is key to achieving that. And without thorough benchmarks, we would be flying blind.

• Present your work at our weekly demo sessions. We want engineers to come together around what they are working on and to feel like they are not endlessly squirreling away at something that doesn’t matter. To that end, we host (and actively work towards) demo sessions that allow early feedback, celebration of progress, and a better shared understanding of everything that goes on at Helsing.

You should apply if you

• Can write legible, maintainable, and performant code.

• Communicate well in English, both verbally and in writing.

• Enjoy collaborating with others, including reviewing code and pair programming.

• Are comfortable working asynchronously (writing PRs and RFCs, having discussions by email).

• Are familiar with backend interface tools like REST APIs, webRTC, gRPC/Protocol Buffers, and Arrow.

• Strive to improve yourself, your peers, and the culture you work in over time.

• Feel like ethical considerations are an inherent part of engineering.

Note: We operate at an intersection where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to have

• Development experience with a language like Rust, Java, Go, or C++.

• State-of-the-art experience with frameworks like React.

• Experience in designing long-lived protocols and data schemas for system integration.

• Enjoy designing data-heavy UIs and have strong prototyping skills.

• Experience building aviation software according to DALs and standards like DO-278.

• Knowledge about NATO UCS standards like STANAG 4586/AEP-84.

• Knowledge about Metrics tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).

• Experience with production ML systems.

Taken together, this brings a whole host of interesting engineering challenges across a wide variety of fields that you'll help us solve. To give some examples:

• Data visualization (e.g., rendering complex simulation outputs, test results, and AI behavior in human-understandable ways)

• Human-Autonomy Teaming (e.g., UIs for effective human oversight, control, and trust calibration)

• Real-time interfaces (e.g., live test execution dashboards, simulation monitoring, and streaming data displays)

• Complex technical UIs (e.g., making dense, multi-dimensional data accessible to engineers and operators)

• Design systems (e.g., building reusable component libraries that enable rapid, consistent UI development across products)

• Frontend performance (e.g., efficiently rendering large datasets, optimizing real-time updates, and maintaining responsiveness under load)

The day-to-day

• Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues. At Helsing we strongly believe that unblocking others takes precedence over spending more time on your own work.

• Own the user interface end-to-end, from early wireframes and prototypes through to production-ready code. You'll work closely with product and UX colleagues to shape how engineers interact with our tools.

• Propose and implement new features, capabilities, visualizations, or even full products across our stack. We encourage our engineers to look beyond their immediate team for missed opportunities, and to speak up when they identify one.

• Translate complex technical data into usable, intuitive interfaces. You'll turn raw simulation outputs, test results, and AI behavior data into visualizations that engineers can actually understand and act on.

• Establish and evolve our component library, ensuring consistency, reusability, and alignment with our visual design standards across multiple front-ends.

• Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline. The people make or break the company, and we want as many engineers as possible to be part of fostering and growing the organisation.

• Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers. We host tech talks, get together for smaller "let's learn together" groups, run topical office hours (e.g., on React, TypeScript), etc. to help each other get better with time.

• Connect with, understand, and make changes to backend systems as needed. Our backends are primarily written in Rust, and you'll need to be comfortable navigating unfamiliar codebases to unblock yourself and improve integrations.

• Further develop our tests and benchmarks, both at the micro and macro level. We operate in a domain where robustness is of the utmost importance, and an extensive and ever-improving test suite is key to achieving that.

Please do not submit personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, data concerning your health, or data concerning your sexual orientation.

Who we are

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards. 

As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously. 

We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing program managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications. 

The role

You’ll build the autonomy brain for a cutting-edge autonomous aerial platform that will actually take flight. At Helsing, you won't just be developing software; you'll be integrating state-of-the-art reinforcement learning agents into the operational systems of our own Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), the CA-1 Europa, part of the groundbreaking Centaur project. This is a unique opportunity to directly contribute to a novel autonomous system designed from the ground up.

Working at the intersection of machine learning and systems engineering, you'll integrate reinforcement learning agents into high-performance runtime systems, enabling real-time autonomous decision-making in flight. This isn't theoretical; your code will enable the CA-1 Europa to perceive, reason, and act autonomously in the most demanding environments.

What we build ultimately ends up in the hands of real people in high-risk, high-stress situations, so it must be both reliable and frictionless. To give some examples:

• Autonomous Decision-Making Systems — reliable pipelines from sensor data to RL inference to tactical execution, including edge-case and failure-mode handling.

• Reinforcement Learning Integration — bridging Python-based RL agents with Rust runtime systems for low-latency, reproducible inference.

• Distributed Systems & Communications — handling intermittent connectivity and bespoke hardware protocols.

• Training Infrastructure — distributed training, evaluation pipelines, and large-scale runs on custom simulators.

In some areas, we're working at the state-of-the-art—actively implementing research papers and pushing further. In others, we're applying proven techniques to real-world situations they've never encountered before. Both require skill, diligence, and deep technical understanding.

Our software operates under significant constraints, in constantly-changing environments, for users in high-risk situations. It must be reliable and frictionless. That's what makes this work hard—and worth doing.

The day-to-day

• Maintain our existing software stack, including working with internal and external customers to identify issues, improving operational reliability and performance, and fending off technical debt. The stack is a mix of Rust and Python, with Python mainly living in the ML-heavy sections.

• Further develop our tests and benchmarks, both at the micro and macro level, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations and flight testing. We operate in a domain where robustness is of the utmost importance, and an extensive and ever-improving test suite is key to achieving that. And without thorough benchmarks, we would be flying blind.

• Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues, ensuring robustness and adherence to safety and performance standards critical for airborne applications. At Helsing we strongly believe that unblocking others takes precedence over spending more time on your own work.

• Propose and implement new features, capabilities, algorithms, infrastructure, or even full products across our stack, with a focus on refining the capabilities and reliability of our airborne mission systems. We encourage our engineers to look beyond their immediate team for missed opportunities, and to speak up when they identify one.

• Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline. The people make or break the company, and we want as many engineers as possible to be part of fostering and growing the organisation.

• Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers. We host tech talks, get together for smaller “let’s learn together” groups, run topical office hours (e.g., on Rust), etc. to help each other get better with time.

You should apply if you

• Can write legible, maintainable, and performant code.

• Communicate well in English, both verbally and in writing.

• Enjoy collaborating with others, including reviewing code and pair programming, particularly on complex system architectures involving tight hardware-software integration on a real-world aerial platform.

• Are comfortable working asynchronously (writing PRs and RFCs, having discussions by email).

• Have strong backend or embedded development experience, ideally with a language like Rust, Go, or C++.

• Feel comfortable working with Python with the ML-heavy sections of the stack.

• Strive to improve yourself, your peers, and the culture you work in over time.

• Feel like ethical considerations are an inherent part of engineering.

Note: We operate at an intersection where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to have

• Rust and Python specifically.

• Experience in deploying Reinforcement Learning or Machine Learning agents in real-world systems

• Safety Programming Experience

• Familiarity with low-level flight control systems and their interfaces, even if not directly developing them.

• Experience with sensor integration (IMUs, GPS, Lidar, Cameras) and sensor fusion techniques for navigation.

• Robotics (e.g., control systems).

• Production ML systems.

• Hardware interfaces (e.g., Arduino).

The role

Imagine building the vital infrastructure for a cutting-edge autonomous aerial platform that will actually take flight. At Helsing, you won't just be developing software; you'll be shaping the foundational capabilities for our own Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), the CA-1 Europa. This is a unique opportunity to directly contribute to a novel system designed from the ground up.

You will be building the higher-level mission control foundation, the sophisticated infrastructure that enables real-time sensor processing, secure communication, seamless integration of autonomous decision-making modules, and reliable interfacing with lower-level flight control systems. This isn't theoretical; your code will be critical to the CA-1 Europa's ability to fly, perceive, and operate effectively in the most demanding environments.

We build software that is subject to significant and unorthodox technical constraints, must operate in a wide variety of constantly-changing environments, and has to support an ever-growing list of challenging use-cases. What we build ultimately ends up in the hands of real people in high-risk, high-stress situations, so it must be both reliable and frictionless. Taken together, this brings a whole host of interesting engineering challenges across a wide variety of fields that you’ll help us solve. To give some examples:

• Distributed systems & Communications (e.g., intermittent connectivity and integrating with bespoke communication hardware and protocols)

• Embedded computing (e.g., resource-constrained compute and real-time operating systems)

• Networking (e.g., long-range low-bandwidth radios and cross-medium routing)

• Deployment & Integration Infrastructure (e.g., designing and implementing custom secure runtime environments for vendor code)

In several of these areas, we are working near the state-of-the-art; we actively read (and sometimes implement) research papers, and often need to push even further to make theory work in practice. In others, we are applying well-known techniques to real-world situations (with real-world limitations) that have never been used in before, which requires skill, diligence, and honing a deep understanding of the underlying technologies.

Who we are

The role 

Collaborating closely with our dynamic team of product designers and engineers, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the foundation of frontend at Helsing. Embracing a hands-on approach, you'll not only lead by example, but also spearhead the development and expansion of a tight-knit team that works across a wide-range of internal teams and products. Your primary emphasis will be on enhancing usability, creating re-usable foundations for multiple front-ends and optimising the end-user experience across the entire company.

The day-to-day

• Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues. At Helsing we strongly believe that unblocking others takes precedence over spending more time on your own work.

• Own the user interface end-to-end, from early wireframes and prototypes through to performant, production-ready code. You'll work closely with product and UX colleagues to shape how users interact with our tools. We have relatively few frontend engineers at Helsing; this means that we operate at a high level of autonomy and there are plenty of opportunities for impactful work.

• Propose and implement new features, capabilities, tooling, visualizations, or even full products across our stack. We encourage our engineers to look beyond their immediate team for missed opportunities, and to speak up when they identify one.

• Establish and evolve our React component library, ensuring consistency, reusability, and alignment with our visual design standards across multiple front-ends.

• Collaborate with others beyond your team and share knowledge with the wider frontend community at Helsing. Contribute to establishing our frontend engineering standards. Build or adopt tools that help enforce these standards, or make our frontend engineers more efficient in a different way.

• Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline. The people make or break the company, and we want as many engineers as possible to be part of fostering and growing the organisation.

• Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers. We host tech talks, get together for smaller "let's learn together" groups, run topical office hours or reading groups (e.g., on React or TypeScript), etc. to help each other get better with time.

• Connect with, understand, and make changes to backend systems as needed. Our backends are primarily written in Rust, and you'll need to be comfortable navigating unfamiliar codebases to unblock yourself and improve integrations. Rust experience is not a prerequisite to this role, though - you can learn that over time as needed.

• Present your work at our weekly demo sessions. We want engineers to come together around what they are working on and to feel like they are not endlessly squirrelling away at something that doesn't matter. To that end, we host (and actively work towards) demo sessions that allow early feedback, celebration of progress, and a better shared understanding of everything that goes on at Helsing.

You should apply if you

• Can write legible, maintainable, and performant frontend code - ideally using TypeScript and React.

• Are experienced with APIs and server-client communication like REST and GraphQL.

• Have experience with running a live production software.

• Are passionate about staying on top of current development best practices, libraries and frameworks.

• Are comfortable working with unfamiliar backends, ideally with some exposure to languages like Rust.

• Communicate well in English, both verbally and in writing.

• Enjoy collaborating with others, including reviewing code and pair programming.

In others, we are applying well-known techniques to real-world situations (with real-world limitations) that have never been used in before, which requires skill, diligence, and honing a deep understanding of the underlying technologies.

The day-to-day

• Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues. At Helsing we strongly believe that unblocking others takes precedence over spending more time on your own work.

• Propose and implement new features, capabilities, algorithms, infrastructure, or even full products across our stack. We encourage our engineers to look beyond their immediate team for missed opportunities, and to speak up when they identify one.

• Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline. The people make or break the company, and we want as many engineers as possible to be part of fostering and growing the organisation.

• Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers. We host tech talks, get together for smaller “let’s learn together” groups, run topical office hours (e.g., on Rust), etc. to help each other get better with time.

• Maintain our existing software stack, including working with internal and external customers to identify issues, improving operational reliability and performance, and fending off technical debt. The stack is a mix of Rust and Python, with Python mainly living in the ML-heavy sections.

• Further develop our tests and benchmarks, both at the micro and macro level. We operate in a domain where robustness is of the utmost importance, and an extensive and ever-improving test suite is key to achieving that. And without thorough benchmarks, we would be flying blind.

• Present your work at our weekly demo sessions. We want engineers to come together around what they are working on and to feel like they are not endlessly squirrelling away at something that doesn’t matter. To that end, we host (and actively work towards) demo sessions that allow early feedback, celebration of progress, and a better shared understanding of everything that goes on at Helsing.

You should apply if you

• Can write legible, maintainable, and performant code.

• Communicate well in English, both verbally and in writing.

• Enjoy collaborating with others, including reviewing code and pair programming.

• Are comfortable working asynchronously (writing PRs and RFCs, having discussions by email).

• Have backend development experience, ideally with a language like Rust, Java, Go, or C++.

• Are familiar with backend interface tools like REST, GraphQL, gRPC/Protocol Buffers, and Arrow.

• Strive to improve yourself, your peers, and the culture you work in over time.

• Feel like ethical considerations are an inherent part of engineering.

Note: We operate at an intersection where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to have

• Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure. The defence industry is entering the most exciting phase of the technological development curve. Advances in our field of world are not incremental: Helsing is part of, and often leading, historic leaps forward. 

• In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities. This means we take bets, aim high, and focus on big opportunities. Despite being a relatively young company, Helsing has already been selected for multiple significant government contracts.  

• We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it. Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity. At Helsing you will have a say in how we (and you!) work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn’t work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply about. 

What we offer

• A focus on outcomes, not time-tracking

Who we are

The role

The day-to-day

• Identify, assess, and prioritise security risks across our systems, products, and infrastructure - distinguishing between theoretical concerns and material threats to the business

• Design and implement practical security controls across cloud platforms, applications, products, and data - and guide engineering teams in doing the same

• Develop and apply threat models to surface architectural risks, trust boundary issues, and failure modes before they become incidents

• Partner with engineering, product, and operational teams as a trusted security adviser - providing patterns, guidance, and guardrails rather than one-off approvals or blockers

• Contribute to the detection, investigation, and containment of security incidents, and drive systemic improvements from what we learn

• Reduce manual and reactive security work by building automation, improving tooling, and embedding secure-by-default practices into how we develop and operate systems

• Bring technical depth to assurance activities such as audits, certifications, and customer security reviews - ensuring our controls are real and effective, not just documented

You should apply if you

• Have deep hands-on expertise in one or two security domains - such as application security, cloud security, identity and access management, cryptography, detection and response, or platform security - and can demonstrate genuine impact within them

• Think in terms of trust boundaries, failure modes, blast radius, and adversarial behaviour rather than individual vulnerabilities in isolation

• Can translate complex security risk into language that resonates with non-security stakeholders - engineers, product managers, and senior leadership alike - and influence outcomes without relying on authority

• Approach security with a risk-based mindset, making proportionate, well-reasoned decisions under uncertainty and consistently asking whether the work you are doing reduces material risk rather than simply satisfying a compliance requirement

• Have experience working across multiple teams and technical domains simultaneously, maintaining quality and judgement across contexts

• Have a track record of identifying gaps and driving security improvements to resolution, including in ambiguous or loosely scoped problem spaces

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in or alongside regulated, high-assurance, or defence-adjacent environments where security requirements are complex and the consequences of failure are significant

• Hands-on offensive security experience - red teaming, penetration testing, or adversarial simulation - that informs how you approach defensive design and threat modelling

• Familiarity with security considerations specific to AI or machine learning systems, including model integrity, data pipeline security, or adversarial ML concepts

• Experience designing or contributing to security programmes at scale - security champions networks, secure development lifecycle tooling, or organisation-wide risk frameworks

• Background in cloud-native security engineering, particularly across AWS, GCP, or Azure, including infrastructure-as-code, container security, and cloud identity patterns

• Exposure to supply chain security concerns, including dependency management, build pipeline integrity, or third-party component assurance

• Experience operating in environments with classified data, government security frameworks, or cross-domain security requirements

• You are naturally collaborative. We thrive as a unified team, relying on shared expertise and mutual support to achieve success. You excel at building trust, fostering strong relationships, and embracing shared responsibility.

• You are an agile problem-solver. A self-starter who takes full ownership, you deliver consistently and exercise sound judgment to identify the best course of action.

• You are adaptable and intellectually curious. You thrive in dynamic environments, readily embracing new technologies, processes, and scenarios, and adapting at pace. Your passion for exploration and continuous learning fuels your pursuit of excellence.

Must Have 

• Fluency in both English and German, written and spoken.

• c.10+ years of professional experience in core areas outlined above.
