## Description

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies.

As a Robotics Senior NPI Engineer based in Barcelona, you will sit at the boundary between engineering innovation and production reality, bridging prototype development and scalable manufacture for Helsing's robotics portfolio.

## The Day-to-Day

- Lead the transition from prototype to production-ready designs, applying DFM and DFA principles to redesign components and assemblies for improved manufacturability, cost efficiency, quality, and reliability across CNC machining, sheet metal, injection moulding, and additive manufacturing.

- Develop, document, and optimise manufacturing processes, work instructions, bills of materials, and assembly procedures, building the production infrastructure needed to scale robotic systems from low volume to repeatable, high-quality output.

- Specify, procure, and develop fixturing, tooling, and manufacturing equipment, ensuring assembly processes are well-supported and production-ready from day one.

- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and quality teams to surface and resolve manufacturing issues early in the design cycle, reducing downstream cost and rework through structured problem-solving and continuous improvement.

- Drive improvement initiatives across efficiency, quality, and cost reduction, using data from production builds to inform design iteration and process refinement.

## You Should Apply If

- You have delivered manufacturing processes for complex mechanical or electromechanical products, with a verifiable track record of taking designs from prototype through to scalable production in high-mix, low-to-medium volume environments.

- You bring deep technical knowledge of DFM and DFA across CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection-moulded plastics, and additive manufacturing, with the ability to redesign components to reduce cost and improve yield without compromising performance.

- You are proficient in 3D CAD modelling, ideally SolidWorks, and experienced in producing manufacturing documentation including BOMs, work instructions, and drawing packages to production-grade standards.

- You have specified and procured manufacturing equipment, tools, and fixtures, and understand how to build the production infrastructure needed to support repeatable, quality-consistent assembly.

## Nice to Have

- Experience working on robotic, automation, or mechatronic systems, with familiarity with the specific manufacturing constraints and assembly challenges these platforms present.

- A track record of owning the full prototype-to-mass-production journey, including supplier engagement, process qualification, and production ramp-up.

## What We Offer

- 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.
