## Description

## Job Overview

As an Electronics Engineer on the Physical Products team at Helsing, a defence AI company, you will design and build electrical systems for Helsing's platforms. Your work will directly contribute to Helsing's mission to equip democratic societies with capable, reliable defence technology.

## Responsibilities

- Design, build, and validate bespoke PCBs from schematic through to hands-on bring-up, covering power, digital, and mixed-signal electronics, using tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad.

- Define the electrical architecture of UAV platforms, producing wiring diagrams, power distribution schemes, and interface definitions that underpin system integration across mechanical, software, and avionics boundaries.

- Select and specify components across sensors, actuators, controllers, and power systems, trading off performance, cost, availability, and integration effort to make well-reasoned, documented design decisions.

- Integrate communication interfaces such as CAN Bus, Ethernet, and RS422/485, and support RF and radio systems, ensuring robust data and power distribution across the platform.

- Define and execute unit-level tests, contribute to reliability and safety analyses such as FMEA, and produce clear design documentation including wiring diagrams, schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM.

## Requirements

- Professional experience in designing and integrating electrical and electronic systems, preferably within aerospace or a similarly demanding domain.

- Proficiency in PCB design and layout, with hands-on experience using ECAD tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad and simulation tools like LTSpice.

- Ability to interpret complex third-party datasheets and technical documentation, translating electrical characteristics and constraints into sound design decisions.

- Experience designing cable harnesses and defining communication interfaces, and working with RF or radio systems in a hardware integration context.

- Effective collaboration across mechanical, software, and systems engineering disciplines, and clear communication in written and spoken English.

## Nice to Have

- Experience with ECAD/MCAD co-design workflows and integration of electrical systems into complex electromechanical assemblies.

- Contributions to reliability or safety analyses such as FMEA in a production or pre-production engineering context.

## 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

- Hands-on onboarding program
