Flight Control Systems Engineer

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 Flight Control Systems Engineer, you will shape and deliver a fly-by-wire flight control system, from first architecture sketch to first flight. You will define the system, guide it through every development stage with our engineering teams and industrial partners, and see it integrated onto the flying platform. Certification sits at the heart of the work: you will build the safety and compliance evidence that allows our aircraft to fly. You will collaborate with a team of specialists across avionics, software, safety and programme management, and your decisions will set the technical direction for a capability that European armed forces depend on.
