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 a Stress & Dynamics Engineer, you will be instrumental in modeling, analysing, and validating the structural integrity of Helsing's advanced drone systems. Your work will directly support our mission to provide effective and reliable defence technology, ensuring our capabilities meet the most demanding operational requirements. This is a unique opportunity to apply your analytical skills to cutting-edge hardware that directly contributes to protecting democratic societies.



The day-to-day

• Own the mechanical simulation of complex drone products, major subassemblies, and critical parts
• Create simplified models using analytic tools and model order reduction methods
• Define and derive proper loads, boundary conditions, and material conditions for analysis
• Perform static and dynamic structural assessments, including modal analyses and model correlation
• Plan and execute structural tests to validate models and de-risk technology
• Conduct sensitivity studies to find optimal structural solutions
• Create comprehensive design reports adhering to company guidelines and quality standards



You should apply if you

• Have professional experience in structural mechanics, stress engineering, or structural dynamics, preferably within aerospace or similar demanding fields
• Possess outstanding hands-on experience with calculation tools (e.g., Matlab/Simulink) and FEA simulation tools (e.g., Solidworks Simulation, Simcenter)
• Can analytically assess standard parts and apply relevant standards (e.g., for bolts, bearings, fittings)
• Have proven knowledge of CAD tools for structural simplification and model preparation
• Exhibit excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• Are eager to drive fast-track developments and realize innovative solutions
• Thrive in a fun, highly adaptable working environment

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.
