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

You will be part of a team developing the world's first AI-enabled electronic warfare capability for a 4+ generation fighter jet, from concept to maiden flight. You will be part of the team creating all V&V models. This includes modelling integrated systems but also supporting the overall system and software V&V strategy, supporting the V&V process and tool chain definition, and executing all V&V activities in full compliance with aerospace and defence standards. Your main challenge is to collaborate with our world-leading AI software team to ensure the developed software meets the contractual qualification requirements while exceeding customer expectations

The day-to-day

• You will create the simulation models of the systems and units to be tested and integrate them into the different HiL (Hardware in the loop) and SiL (Software in the loop) labs/rigs
• You will develop the architecture of high-fidelity plant models and virtual prototypes (using MATLAB/Simulink, Ansys SCADE, or C++) to simulate aircraft components, complex EW system behaviours, RF environments, and aircraft dynamics
• You will develop the tools needed to create and execute test procedures, and integrate with the requirements base (natural language and MBSE), integrate it to the complex test environment, and automate the generation of test results
• Negotiate system qualification requirements and MoC with our customer, derive high-level software performance requirements, and validate high-level software performance requirements in close collaboration with our software leads
• Improve the traceability of system qualification requirements across all relevant software development artifacts, and develop a V&V product strategy to ensure the successful qualification of the final system and software
• Work collaboratively with the project manager to ensure proper planning of all V&V activities, monitor technical progress, and guide the team toward successful qualification
