## Description

## Job Overview

As a Systems Engineer at Helsing, you will drive the end-to-end technical delivery of advanced capabilities, primarily focusing on software-intensive systems. You will be responsible for systems engineering activities across the full V-cycle, including requirements definition, system architecture, detailed design, integration, verification, validation, and release.

## Responsibilities

- Drive systems engineering execution across the entire V-cycle, with an emphasis on software systems.

- Plan and execute system-level testing; analyse complex test data and lead root-cause analysis on failures and anomalies to steer rapid design iterations.

- Collaborate daily across multi-disciplinary engineering tracks, partnering closely with software architects, hardware developers, and AI engineers to maintain interface management and architectural coherence.

- Serve as a direct technical touchpoint for customer stakeholders, participating in technical exchange meetings, milestone reviews, and customer demonstrations.

- Produce and maintain clear technical documentation, requirements traceability matrices, and verification evidence for system acceptance and operational release.

- Champion modern engineering practices, data-driven diagnostic approaches, and collaborative development tools to accelerate delivery.

## Requirements

- Deliver a software product to a UK MoD or other B2B/B2G customer, or an integrated hardware and software product end-to-end.

- Comprehensive experience across the full engineering V-cycle, with experience weighted towards software rather than hardware.

- Proven ability to conduct system-level testing, analyse test data, and support complex root-cause failure analysis to drive rapid iteration cycles.

- Comfortable collaborating daily with software architects, hardware developers, and AI engineers to maintain system-level consistency and alignment across disciplines.

- Direct customer-facing experience and engagement with customer stakeholders and end-users.

- Active UK Security Clearance (SC).

- Fluent in English, written and spoken.

## Nice to Have

- Experience working with Palantir or equivalent data integration and analytics toolsets.

- Practical systems engineering or delivery experience in Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS).

- Practical use of AI tools to accelerate engineering workflows.

- Python or general software development skills.

- Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and SysML.

- Experience using Jira and Confluence for workflow tracking and documentation.

- Willingness to work in London and travel to customer sites across the UK.

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance

- Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)

- Social: regular company events and monthly social allowances

- Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregivers

- Family support: 5 days of paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to work
