## Description

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

As the Lead Engineer for Low Observability & RF Interoperability, you will direct the effort to minimise the system's electromagnetic signature whilst ensuring all RF systems co-exist without degradation.

## The Day-to-Day

- Design and manage emission control and RF deconfliction for the overall system, encompassing airborne platforms and ground components

- Ensure daily RF interoperability across airborne payloads, including AESA radars and datalinks, to guarantee co-existence without mutual degradation

- Plan and execute comprehensive EMC/EMI co-site assessments, providing clear mitigation recommendations for desense risks and harmonic management

- Define frequency plans, channelisation, and emission control profiles tailored to specific mission phases

- Establish signature-aware operation concepts, including passive-first tactics and sensor management to substantially reduce detectability

- Develop robust integration concepts for antenna placement, isolation, and cable routing that meet rigorous performance and platform constraints

- Ensure communications and sensing systems operate resiliently under contested electronic warfare conditions, analysing fallback modes and graceful degradation

- Coordinate collaboratively with structural teams to ensure RF designs support low observability and manage unintended emissions via targeted shielding and filtering

- Execute requirements traceability from platform-level performance goals to subsystem specifications and robust verification evidence

- Guide cross-functional issue resolution and manage critical supplier technical exchanges to ensure full compliance with platform standards

## Requirements

- Hold a degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline

- Have delivered RF and EMC co-site interoperability solutions on complex airborne platforms

- Possess practical expertise with multi-sensor RF integration, encompassing AESA radar, datalinks, and electronic support measures

- Can execute comprehensive interference and intermodulation analyses, translating results into practical mitigations such as filtering and blanking

- Have built and executed testing campaigns across laboratory and flight environments to reliably correlate models with physical data

- Understand antenna placement trade-offs and can guide designs collaboratively with airframe structures teams

## Nice to Have

- Demonstrate a proactive low-observability and signature-management mindset, including practical experience with LPI/LPD concepts

- Bring established fluency in translating requirements into verification outcomes within a regulated aerospace environment

- Have practical experience leading technical closure with suppliers to drive corrective actions to verified outcomes

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options

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

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance

- Health and 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 and 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
