Full Job Description
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 The Environmental Cluster is Helsing's "Physical Reality" team within the Test Department. Where other clusters validate functionality, this cluster validates survivability and performance under real-world stress – and this role is its generalist backbone. As Environmental Test Engineer, you will design, execute, and analyse environmental stress campaigns across the full range of drone sub-systems and Ground Support Equipment (GSE). You will apply the cluster's core methodological toolkit – mechanical, thermal, and environmental qualification – across multiple hardware domains, ensuring test coverage continuity, absorbing campaign overflows from specialist engineers, and extending the cluster's capability into emerging and sensitive hardware areas. A defined portion of this scope extends to the environmental qualification of lethality packages. This requires a working understanding of the unique regulatory and safety constraints that govern the testing of energetic and weapons-related hardware. This is not a weapons engineering role: the lethality knowledge requirement is scoped specifically to environmental test safety and procedural compliance. Yo
