Graduate Engineer/ Electronics Engineer

Who we areHelsing is a defence AI company. As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. The roleAs an Electronics Engineer on the Physical Products team, you will design and build the electrical systems that bring Helsing's platforms to life. From component selection and electrical architecture definition through to bespoke PCB design and hands-on prototype bring-up, you will shape how our systems are powered, connected, and controlled. Working at the intersection of hardware and systems engineering, you will translate complex requirements into robust, field-ready electronics, iterating rapidly to de-risk designs and validate concepts early. The day-to-dayDesign, build, and validate bespoke PCBs from schematic through to hands-on bring-up, covering power, digital, and mixed-signal electronics, using tools such as Altium Designer or KiCadDefine the electrical architecture of UAV platforms, producing wiring diagrams, power distribution schemes, and interface definitions that underpin system integration across mechanical, software, and avionics boundariesSelect and specify components across sensors, actuators, controllers, and power systems, trading off performance, cost, availability, and integration effort to make well-reasoned, documented design decisionsIntegrate communication interfaces such as CAN Bus, Ethernet, and RS422/485, and support RF and radio systems, ensuring robust data and power distribution across the platformDefine and execute unit-level tests, contribute to reliability and safety analyses such as FMEA, and produce clear design documentation including wiring diagrams, schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM.You should apply if youHave designed and integrated electrical and electronic systems in a professional engineering context, ideally within aerospace or a similarly demanding domainAre proficient in PCB design and layout, with hands-on experience using ECAD tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad and simulation tools such as LTSpiceCan interpret complex third-party datasheets and technical documentation, translating electrical characteristics and constraints into sound, well-reasoned design decisionsHave experience designing cable harnesses and defining communication interfaces, and have worked with RF or radio systems in a hardware integration contextCollaborate effectively across mechanical, software, and systems engineering disciplines, and communicate clearly in written and spoken EnglishNote: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. Nice to haveHave experience with ECAD/MCAD co-design workflows and the integration of electrical systems into complex electromechanical assembliesHave contributed to reliability or safety analyses such as FMEA in a production or pre-production engineering contextJoin Helsing and work with world-leading experts in their fields Helsing's work is important. You will face unique Engineering and AI challenges that make a meaningful impact in the worldOur work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure. Advances in our field of world are not incremental: work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn't work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply aboutWhat we offerCompetitive salary and VSOP optionsRelocation support: up to 2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodationLearning: 500/450 yearly allowanceHealth & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)Social: regular company events and monthly social allowancesEnhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregiversFamily support: 5 days of paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to workA hands-on onboarding program (affectionately labelled "Infraduction"), in which you will be building tooling and applications to be used across the company. This is your opportunity to learn our tech stack, explore the company, and learn how we get things done - all whilst working with other engineering teams from day one Helsing is an equal opportunities employer.
