Electronics Engineer

Overview

In this role you will architect and own Helsing’s electrical systems for platform platforms, shaping electrical architectures and bespoke electronics from concept to validated prototypes. You will translate third-party datasheets into robust design decisions, collaborating with mechanical, software, and systems engineers to accelerate hardware development. Your work directly supports field-ready defence capabilities and progress in our hardware programme. You will operate in a mission-driven culture that values ethical considerations and cross-functional impact.
