Helsing

Senior Lead Engineer Electronic Warfare and Survivability

Stellenbeschreibung:

Overview

You drive sensor integration and tactical capability development for our UCAV program, shaping how the airborne platform perceives and reacts to electromagnetic threats. In this senior role, you define multi-sensor interaction, pre-mission workflows, and a coherent tactical picture across mission phases. You’ll work with cross-functional teams to balance performance, survivability, and ethical considerations in a mission-driven, open culture. This is a high-impact opportunity to push state-of-the-art EW and sensor fusion in defense technology.
