About this role
Who we are
Helsing develops artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities to protect and defend democracies. We are growing our US operations, cultivating an ambitious and committed team of mission-driven professionals to apply their skills to solve challenging problems.
The role
As Lead Systems Engineer, you will own the systems engineering life cycle for next-generation loitering munition systems being developed for the U.S. Army. This is a hands-on technical leadership role spanning requirements, architecture, verification, and hardware-software integration. You will be the technical authority for translating government requirements into verified, fielded capability spanning the all-up round, ground/fire control system, and their integration into the command-and-control force structure.
You will grow, lead, and mentor a team of systems engineers, while also serving as the program's individual technical authority within the Systems Engineering Integrated Product Team (IPT). You will shape the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) and serve as the technical conscience of the program.
The day-to-day
• Lead the development and management of system and subsystem requirements, translating U.S. military operational needs into detailed engineering specifications.
• Own requirements traceability from the Government Requirements Matrix through to system verification and validation.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including software, safety, hardware and integration, to develop robust system architectures.
