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
You will be part of a team building the cutting edge and production-grade software foundations that power autonomous robotics. Your work will focus on designing, implementing,



and deploying high-performance ROS2-based architectures and control software for robots operating in complex, unstructured, and dynamic real-world environments. This includes ensuring low-latency real-time communication, robust sensor integration, and reliable mechatronics performance. You will own the software lifecycle from architecture design to physical deployment on custom hardware, ensuring that our systems are highly reliable, easily diagnosable, and ready for critical real-world operations.
The day-to-day
- Design, implement, and rigorously test the ROS2 architecture and C++ modules that allow autonomous platforms to perceive, decide, and act reliably in complex, unstructured, and often adversarial environments.
- Take architectural concepts from a whiteboard to a fielded system, working hands-on with custom mechatronics to integrate sensors and actuators so the software layer performs exactly as required by the hardware layer.
- Develop diagnostic tooling and failure
