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 As an Electrical/Electronics Engineer, you will architect and own the electrical systems that bring Helsing's platforms to life. You will define electrical architectures, select and specify components, design bespoke electronics, and integrate complex electromechanical assemblies from requirements through to validated prototype. A central part of this role is translating third-party datasheets and technical documentation into well-reasoned design decisions that directly shape platform capability. Working closely with mechanical, software, and systems engineers, your work will accelerate Helsing's ability to field advanced defence capabilities and directly influence the pace and quality of our hardware development programme. The day-to-day Define the electrical architecture of Helsing's platforms, producing wiring diagrams, power distribution schemes, signal routing, grounding strategies, and interface definitions that provide a coherent, robust foundation for the wider system Design, build, and validate bespoke PCBs across power, digital, and mixed-signal domains, from schematic capture and layout through to hands-on bring-up, using circuit simulation tools such as LTSpice to de-risk decisions early Select and specify system components, including sensors, actuators, controllers, and power components, conducting rigorous trade-offs against performance, cost, availability, and integration constraints informed by thorough datasheet analysis Design and integrate cable harnesses, connectors, and communication interfaces such as CAN Bus, Ethernet, and RS422/485, ensuring reliable data and power distribution across complex electromechanical assemblies Define and execute unit-level test campaigns, support system-level integration and troubleshooting across hardware and software boundaries, and produce clear design documentation including schematics, BOMs, and integration drawings using Altium Designer or KiCad You should apply if you Have professional experience in electrical and electronic system design and integration within aerospace or an equally demanding engineering domain, with a track record of taking hardware from concept to validated prototype Can fluently read and apply third-party component datasheets and technical documentation, translating electrical characteristics, constraints, and application notes into robust, well-reasoned design decisions Have hands-on PCB design and layout experience and are proficient with ECAD and simulation tools such as Altium Designer, KiCad, and LTSpice, across power, digital, and mixed-signal applications Have worked in cross-disciplinary teams alongside mechanical, software, and systems engineers, with ECAD/MCAD co-design experience and a clear understanding of how electrical design decisions affect the wider platform Communicate clearly and precisely in English, both in written documentation and in technical discussion, and are comfortable working with incomplete or evolving requirements Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematical
