Helsing's Resilience Factory in Plymouth designs and produces the SG-1 Fathom; a subsurface glider that redefines underwater surveillance. Mass-manufacturable and designed for deployment at scale, hundreds of SG-1s can monitor vast underwater areas, patrolling in swarms or holding position on the seabed. Integrated with Helsing's Lura platform, SG-1 provides real-time detection and classification at the edge, in environments where bandwidth is low and data volumes are high.
As a Maritime Production Technician, you will be responsible for assembling, testing and quality-assuring the SG-1 glider as it moves from design into production. This is a hands-on role at the heart of Helsing's hardware capability. You will work closely with the production engineering team to build and refine the processes that allow us to manufacture at the pace and standard our mission demands. The work requires precision, attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining high standards in both product quality and workplace safety. For someone at the start of their career in defence manufacturing, this is an opportunity to contribute directly to a capability that is already reshaping how democratic nations protect their waters.
Interpret and follow assembly drawings and detailed work instructions to build SG-1 glider components and sub-assemblies to specification
Assemble electro-mechanical components manually, ensuring each unit meets the quality standards required for subsurface deployment
Operate digital tooling to automate production tasks and improve throughput
Conduct functional testing on assembled products, identifying and documenting defects before units leave the factory floor
Perform quality control checks throughout the assembly process, contributing to a first-time-right culture that minimises rework and waste
Maintain a clean, organised and efficient workspace in line with production safety standards
Collaborate with the production engineering team to evolve and develop tooling, jigs and procedures — feeding back practical insights from the build line to improve future production runs
Support lead functions with factory-specific tasks, contributing to the smooth day-to-day running of the Resilience Factory
Hold a trade qualification in engineering, electrical, mechanical or a maritime-related field
Have experience working with electro-mechanical assemblies in a production or manufacturing setting
Demonstrate strong problem-solving ability and a methodical approach to diagnosing and resolving build issues
Communicate clearly and precisely, both verbally and in writing — particularly when documenting quality findings or raising concerns
Are eligible for UK Defence Security Clearance, hold an unrestricted right to work in the UK, and hold a valid, unrestricted driving licence
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.
Experience in a quality assurance or inspection role within a manufacturing environment
Familiarity with ERP systems and digital production platforms
