Description
Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.
The role
Our Autonomous Air System V&V team builds the simulation and validation environments that enable rigorous testing of autonomous air systems before they ever leave the ground. We develop Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) environments that allow engineers to integrate, test, and assure AI-driven capabilities against virtualised and representative hardware.
The role involves solving interesting engineering challenges across various fields, including:
- Data visualization
- Human-Autonomy Teaming
- Real-time interfaces
- Complex technical UIs
- Design systems
- Frontend performance
The day-to-day
- Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues
- Own the user interface end-to-end, from early wireframes and prototypes through to production-ready code
- Propose and implement new features, capabilities, visualizations, or even full products across our stack
- Translate complex technical data into usable, intuitive interfaces
- Establish and evolve our component library, ensuring consistency, reusability, and alignment with our visual design standards
- Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline
- Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers
- Connect with, understand, and make changes to backend systems as needed
- Further develop our tests and benchmarks
- Present your work at our weekly demo sessions
