Jobs at Helsing

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.

Lead the redesign and scaling of global People Operations across the employee lifecycle. The role owns process landscapes, service delivery, HRIS data, onboarding, offboarding, payroll inputs, mobility, documentation, automation, controls, and operational metrics. It also develops team capability, clarifies ownership, improves employee self-service, guides AI adoption, and drives continuous improvement across international operations while balancing global consistency with local requirements.

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.

As a Frontend Software Engineer, you'll lead UI development, review code, and mentor colleagues while enhancing usability and optimizing user experience across products at Helsing.

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.

Design and own electrical architectures and bespoke PCBs for defence platforms: component selection, ECAD layout, cable harnesses, communication interfaces (CAN/Ethernet/RS422/485), simulation (LTSpice), testing, integration, and documentation from requirements through validated prototype.

Build and iterate flight-ready UAV prototypes by designing, fabricating, and integrating airframes, wiring, power and avionics. Configure and troubleshoot autopilots (PX4/ArduPilot), run bench and field test campaigns, collect telemetry, refine CAD/FEA models, and remove integration bottlenecks to keep the developmental fleet operational.

Develop computer vision models for object recognition and video understanding while evaluating and improving their performance for real-world applications.

Lead and implement architecture and code for resilient backend systems, embedded hardware, secure networking, and ML inference at the tactical edge. Mentor engineers, run code review and RFC processes, optimise performance and reliability, and drive cross-team technical initiatives from prototype to production.
