## Description

## Job Overview

As the System Architect for Electronic Warfare at Helsing, you will direct the end-to-end electronic warfare architecture for airborne platforms, defining the threat-driven capability roadmap, system partitioning, and overall integration strategy.

## Key Responsibilities

- Own the end-to-end EW architecture for an airborne platform: threat-driven capability roadmap, system partitioning, interfaces, and integration strategy across sensors.

- Translate operational scenarios into EW requirements and measurable KPIs.

- Define the EW CONOPS and behavior.

- Establish the sensor-to-effector kill chain: detection → classification/ID → geo-location → threat evaluation → technique selection → execution → assessment, including timing budgets and data products.

- Lead multi-sensor fusion architecture (RWR/ESM + radar + EO/IR + navigation).

- Architect threat library / mission data concepts.

- Establish system safety and assurance for autonomous EW actions.

- Lead digital engineering for EW performance modeling.

- Define the test and evaluation strategy.

- Coordinate cross-functional design decisions with airframe, avionics, comms, mission computing, and suppliers; manage technical trade-offs.

- Own key interfaces/ICDs.

- Manage supplier technical governance.

## Requirements

- Hold a relevant degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.

- Have experience in EW / mission systems architecture for airborne platforms with end-to-end ownership.

- Can convert threat-driven scenarios into EW requirements + KPIs (timing budgets, coverage, sensitivity/geo-location performance, response latency, survivability metrics).

- Have designed or led an operational EW CONOPS and autonomous behavior.

- Understand the sensor-to-effector chain and technique selection logic including real-time constraints.

- Have strong multi-sensor fusion experience (ESM/RWR + radar + EO/IR + nav), including track correlation and confidence management.

- Have owned threat library / mission data architecture (data model, validation, versioning, update pipeline, integration into onboard logic).

- Can lead safety, assurance, and cyber/COMSEC considerations for autonomous EW actions in a regulated environment.

- Have defined test & evaluation strategies and verification matrices for EW capabilities across HIL, range, and flight testing.

- Are comfortable driving cross-functional and supplier governance: ICDs, architecture reviews, trade studies, and issue closure with objective evidence.

## 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: regularly 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
