Helsing

Helsing是一家欧洲国防AI公司,开发军事系统:打击无人机、无人战斗飞行器(CA-1 Europa)、水下监视和能接入武器及电子战系统的AI软件。资金充足(据报道2026年7月Series E融资18亿美元,估值180亿美元,来源:Defense News),向欧洲政府和国防承包商销售,因此这是保密相关的项目工作而非商业软件。

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

We  are   developing  an  advanced   airborne   platform   with   integrated  Electronic Support and Electronic Warfare  capabilities .  We   are   looking  for an  experienced   engineer  to  lead  the  technical   definition , design, and  integration  of the  platform's  Emitter Location System.  
 
The  role   focuses  on the  complete   direction-finding   chain :  from   antenna -array  architecture  and  antenna -element  placement  to  signal   processing ,  Direction -of-Arrival  estimation , geolocation, and system-level  co -design  with  the Radar  Warning  Receiver.  
 
You will  work  at the  intersection  of  antenna   engineering ,  radar   signal   processing , Electronic Support Measures,  navigation ,  aircraft   integration , and real-time  mission   systems .
