Environmental Engineer - Remote Working in London

Helsing 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.

You will own the environmental definition for our weapon systems, from the Manufacture-to-Target-Disposal-Sequence through to the evidence that supports certification. You will set system-level environmental requirements, decompose them to subsystem and equipment level, and use analysis to find and design out risks early. Working with supply chain, production and test facilities, you will see campaigns delivered on time, on cost and on quality, and help build our environmental engineering capability as it grows.

The day-to-day:

• Own the Manufacture-to-Target-Disposal-Sequence, specify weapon system environmental requirements and decompose them to subsystem and equipment level.
• Conduct analysis to identify environmental risks early, supporting design-out through de-risking tests that surface problems before they reach qualification.
• Develop qualification strategies that use new technologies and processes to reduce cost and timescales, and build agreement with the stakeholders who must ratify them.
• Act as technical point of contact for internal and external test facilities, working with supply chain and production so that test hardware is captured in the build schedule and campaigns land on time, on cost and on quality.
• Analyse test results, produce reports against the requirement set, and generate environmental evidence statements with clear traceability for certification.

You should apply if you:

• Have specified environmental requirements for complex systems and decomposed them to subsystem and equipment level.
• Conduct environmental analysis that identifies risks early and shapes design decisions before qualification.
• Have planned and overseen environmental test campaigns with internal or external facilities, from scope through to reporting.
• Produce evidence and reports that stand up to certification scrutiny, with clear traceability to analysis and test data.
• Work across engineering, supply chain and production teams to agree qualification approaches and keep schedules intact.

Nice to Have:

• Have introduced novel proving or qualification methods that reduced cost or timescales against a conventional approach.
• Have helped grow an engineering capability through lessons learned reviews, process refinement or recruitment.
