Instead of being scared, you embrace the complexity of unfamiliar databases, APIs, or network protocols; you dig into the specification and use your creativity and ingenuity to implement adapters for integrating them with Helsing’s cloud infrastructure. By working closely with our partners and customers (both metaphorically and quite literally), you continuously evolve, improve, and operate Helsing software. You own the outcome end-to-end.

The day-to-day

In close collaboration with our product teams, you will discover and formalise customer requirements, identify bugs, and ship the latest features directly to our users. Technology demonstrations are our chance to shine - you will coordinate between customers, partners, and Helsing engineers to showcase Helsing’s software and AI capabilities in simulations or with real systems.

You should apply if you

• Have a degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, or other relevant fields.

• Have a broad understanding and creative use of computer systems; this is the Swiss army knife in Helsing’s toolbox of world-class talent.

• Prefer asking questions over stipulating answers.

• Love figuring things out, digging deeper and deeper into unfamiliar systems until it finally clicks, and you understand how they work.

• Are not afraid of legacy systems and would rather make them work than give up and try to rewrite it all.

• Are comfortable with scripting languages such as Bash or Python and have experience with software engineering in C++, Java, Rust, or similar.

• Can navigate and configure Linux systems and have an understanding of network stacks and database systems.

• If applying for Germany- it is a requirement that you are able to speak business level or fluent German

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.

The Quantum Systems Land Domain is developing leading-edge autonomous UGV technology for defense — a domain where no blueprint exists. The product strategy starts with a UGV that is useful on today’s battlefields and can be built with current technology, then progressively increases the authority of the autonomy system while reducing the need for human supervision — across ever more complex operating environments, up to fully autonomous operation in proximity to civilians.

As a senior design assurance expert, you will own and shape this discipline from the ground up: establish the safety architecture, build the assurance processes, and drive design integrity across hardware, software, and ML. You will bridge the gap between safety analysis and engineering implementation — working with system safety, product security, engineering teams, and V&V to ensure safety functions are correctly implemented through the technical architecture. As the product matures, you will grow your domain into a team.

What you will work on / How you will leave your footprint

• Establish and maintain the design assurance process, ensuring safety functions are correctly implemented through the technical architecture.
• Conduct hardware safety analysis — FMEA/FMECA, failure rate analysis, diagnostic coverage, component derating, and environmental qualification.
• Conduct software safety analysis — architecture assessment, identification of safety-relevant software components, and definition of software safety requirements.
• Conduct ML element assurance — data governance, model validation, robustness testing, performance monitoring, and uncertainty quantification for safety-relevant ML components.
• Contribute to component selection for safety-critical functions — evaluate against reliability data, failure mode profiles, and supply chain maturity.
• Define safety mechanisms — redundancy, monitoring, plausibility checks, safe-state transitions, and watchdogs.
• Drive fault injection test design — fault models, injection points, expected responses, and coverage targets.
• Contribute to cost-benefit tradeoffs between alternative safety architectures and recommend the most efficient path to required integrity.
• Contribute to technical risk acceptance — assess residual failure probabilities and confirm design meets allocated integrity targets.
• Maintain safety concept documents defining safety architecture, fault models, diagnostic strategy, and safe-state definitions.
• Own and maintain the system requirements baseline — translate safety measures, security controls, and design needs into verifiable requirements with full traceability.
• Manage compliance matrices for design-level regulations (Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, Battery Regulation, REACH, RoHS, POPs).
• Maintain environmental compliance documents (LCEP, EDC, ETS), substance register, and project handbook.
• Coordinate with System Safety to receive safety function allocations and integrity targets; provide feasibility and cost-benefit feedback; escalate when targets are infeasible.
• Coordinate with Product Security on shared technical architecture — fail-safe vs. fail-secure behavior, component selection criteria, and unified software development guidelines.
• Translate system requirements into hardware design rules, software coding guidelines, and integration test requirements for engineering teams; participate in design reviews and FMEA workshops.
• Define verification criteria and fault injection test cases on system requirements for V&V; specify coverage targets; review and accept V&V evidence for design-level safety claims.
• Develop and maintain AI-assisted workflows for requirements management, compliance auditing, and traceability verification.
  
  

What you bring to the team

• Hands-on expertise in hardware safety, software safety, and fault-tolerant system design — FMEA/FMECA, diagnostic coverage analysis, safe-state design, and safety mechanism specification — with an engineering mindset and hands-on attitude.
• Experience translating high-level safety functions into verifiable, allocatable system requirements and managing full traceability across the engineering lifecycle.
• Ability to evaluate cost-benefit tradeoffs between alternative safety architectures and present quantitative safety arguments (PFH, PFHd, MTTFd, DCavg, SFF, PL metrics).
• Strong collaboration skills — you bridge the gap between safety analysis and engineering implementation.
• Interest in AI-assisted engineering workflows and willingness to shape how AI tools support requirements management and compliance verification.
• Comfortable working with software development tools — GitHub, VS Code, Bazel, Markdown, CI/CD pipelines — to operate and evolve the AI-assisted methodology.

Nice to have

• Working knowledge of IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO 12100, or ISO 26262 and their application to mixed-criticality architectures.
• Working knowledge of relevant EU instruments — Machinery Regulation, Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, Battery Regulation, and AI Act (ML element assurance aspects).
• Understanding of environmental qualification and its impact on component selection and reliability claims (AECTP, substance regulations).
• Understanding of electrical safety (HV/LV design, insulation coordination, protective bonding) and EMF exposure assessment.
• Understanding of mechanical safety — structural integrity, stability analysis, guarding, and safe integration of HV installations.
