Jobs at Helsing

Own end-to-end systems engineering across the full V-cycle, including requirements, architecture, design, integration, verification, validation, and release. Plan system-level testing, analyze test data, lead root-cause investigations, and drive design iterations. Collaborate with software, hardware, and AI engineers to maintain system alignment, produce technical documentation and traceability evidence, and engage directly with defense customers during technical reviews and demonstrations.

Supports Helsing’s chief operating officer and leadership team by managing complex diaries, correspondence, meetings, travel, expenses, events, and information flow. The role requires discretion when working with senior officials, government stakeholders, suppliers, and external partners. It also involves preparing agendas and briefing materials, coordinating logistics across time zones, and prioritizing competing requests in a fast-moving defense technology environment.

Develop reliable, mission-critical software and AI capabilities for semi-autonomous platforms operating in complex, changing environments. Engineers solve challenging problems with code, contribute to systems design, collaborate through code reviews and pair programming, and communicate architectural decisions clearly. The role involves technical interviews covering systems design, project deep dives, and live coding. Work may span distributed systems, AI, deployment infrastructure, robotics, and edge applications, with strong emphasis on ethical engineering, independent reasoning, reliability, and safety.

Early-career software engineer developing reliable, mission-critical software and AI-enabled capabilities for semi-autonomous platforms. The role involves solving complex engineering problems, reasoning about system architecture, writing code independently, collaborating through code reviews and pair programming, and communicating technical decisions clearly. Candidates are assessed through a project walkthrough, systems design discussion, live coding, and leadership interview. Experience with Python, Rust, backend interfaces, cloud-native or edge architectures, hardware interfaces, or robotics is beneficial.

Lead Helsing’s commercial engagement strategy with UK defence procurement organizations, including the National Armaments Director Group and DE&S. Build senior stakeholder networks, align procurement requirements and timelines, shape defence engagement strategies, represent the company in senior forums, and develop internal frameworks for navigating Ministry of Defence procurement cycles. The role requires bridging government procurement and technology-industry cultures to support major defence programme opportunities.

Develop and validate guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for unmanned aircraft systems. Responsibilities include designing controllers and state estimators, simulating navigation performance, calibrating sensors, analyzing flight-test data, executing algorithm evaluations, and collaborating with aerodynamics, flight mechanics, embedded software, hardware, and testing teams.

Develop and execute commercial strategies for UK defence campaigns, lead negotiations with partners and suppliers, manage MoD tender processes, ensure procurement and governance compliance, and advise cross-functional teams. The role also monitors the UK defence market for opportunities and risks, requiring substantial experience with UK defence procurement, complex stakeholder negotiations, and government-industry engagement. Maritime or naval defence experience is preferred.

PhD-level research intern to investigate and prototype 3D computer vision methods (SLAM, VIO, localisation, reconstruction). Survey SOTA, design and benchmark algorithms under real-world conditions, convert ideas into prototypes, and report results to a distributed European team focused on deployable defence-grade spatial perception.

As an AI Research Engineer focused on AI Safety, you will develop techniques for evaluating AI products, enhance decision-making via uncertainty quantification, and ensure robustness against adversarial attacks.

Design and deliver an operational multimodal sensing stack combining EO/LWIR cameras, radar, LiDAR, and IMUs. Own sensor selection, synchronization (PTP/PPS/hardware triggers), calibration, safety concepts, system architecture, lab bring-up, and data-quality tuning for defence AI deployments.

As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will develop and implement secure infrastructure concepts, support project teams in classified environments, and maintain various security tooling and systems.

The Software Engineer will develop AI-based capabilities, maintain software stacks, mentor others, and tackle engineering challenges across various technical fields.

As an AI Research Engineer at Helsing, you'll architect and enhance deep learning frameworks, optimize infrastructure for distributed training, and develop strategies for large datasets while collaborating with a cross-functional team.

You will design, train, and deploy agents in multi-agent environments, enhancing our reinforcement learning capabilities and integrating cutting-edge AI into production systems.

As a Deployed AI Engineer, you'll integrate software into systems, collaborate on customer requirements, and troubleshoot issues while showcasing AI capabilities.

The Hardware Engineer will design, test, and integrate UAV systems, balancing mechanical and electronic aspects to ensure high performance and reliability.

The Marketing Manager will oversee product marketing campaigns, manage vendor relationships, create engaging content, and ensure cohesive marketing strategies within the defense sector.

Source, attract, screen, and interview software engineering candidates across multiple countries. Build and manage high-quality talent pipelines using creative sourcing methods, including direct outreach, networking, social media, and job boards. Track pipeline metrics, identify hiring blockers, forecast hiring outcomes, manage early interview stages, and deliver an exceptional candidate experience while partnering with hiring stakeholders.

Develop and benchmark 3D computer vision and localisation systems (SLAM, visual odometry, scene matching, geo-registration, 3D reconstruction). Extend geometric deep learning and feature-matching methods, design experiments and benchmarks, adapt models to hardware constraints, and collaborate with research, engineering, and product teams to deploy robust AI solutions.

Lead month-, quarter-, and year-end close; prepare complex GL entries; perform balance sheet reconciliations; manage intercompany and multi-currency accounting; support consolidated statutory financial statements, external audit, SOX compliance, and optimise ERP/GL processes.
