The posting, in Helsing's own words
archived Oct 23, 2026Who 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 a Senior Studio Design Engineer, you will sketch, model, build and test Helsing's multi-domain defence systems, from aerospace and drones to land platforms and robotics. You will take concepts from sprint and kick-off through validation to serial production, staying close to the physical product as well as the CAD model. You will connect campaign teams, engineering teams, the design studio and the customer, so that each decision reflects real needs and manufacturing reality. You will also improve the team's processes. Your work will deliver intuitive, distinctive hardware and shorten the loop between idea and working product.

The day-to-day
Sketch, model and build prototypes for aerospace, drone, land and robotics systems in Siemens NX, SolidWorks or CATIA V5, moving from idea to testable hardware within each concept sprint Validate designs against manufacturing, performance and cost constraints, and refine them for serial production with fewer design iterations Connect campaign teams, engineering teams, the design studio and customers, turning requirements into clear design decisions and documented trade-offs Manage design data and team workstreams, keeping CAD, release and change records accurate so that every team builds from a single source of truth Guide colleagues through concept, kick-off and production stages, improve team processes, and refine products after launch using feedback from build, test and use
