## Description

## Job Overview

As the Lead Engineer for Low Observability Calculations at Helsing, a defence AI company, you will direct the high-fidelity Radar Cross Section (RCS) simulation workflow. This involves constructing complex analysis models and managing extensive sweep campaigns on high-performance computing clusters. Your primary objective is to generate critical signature data and hot-spot analyses to guide trade studies and shape the low-observable design of the airframe, antennas, and other key features.

## Responsibilities

- Direct high-fidelity RCS simulations using MoM and MLFMM for airframe and payload-driven signature topics

- Implement Physical Optics analyses for electrically large structures and fast-turn trade studies

- Construct and maintain analysis models, managing CAD cleanup, material assignment, boundary conditions, and excitation setups

- Create and optimise triangular surface meshes to ensure convergence and numerical stability

- Conduct sweep campaigns across frequency, aspect, and polarisation to generate actionable deliverables including RCS polars and sensitivity studies

- Diagnose and resolve solver issues such as convergence, mesh quality, and numerical artefacts

- Guide signature-reduction trade studies collaboratively with structures and low-observability teams

- Correlate simulation results against range and anechoic measurements, quantifying error bars and documenting assumptions

- Optimise workflows for high-performance computing execution to automate result post-processing

- Produce comprehensive program artefacts and clear, decision-ready reports for design reviews

- Coordinate supplier activities for RCS calculation and testing

## Requirements

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

- Have delivered computational electromagnetic and RCS analysis for complex aerospace platforms, including materials and radome modelling

- Possess practical expertise with MoM/MLFMM and Physical Optics methods, demonstrating when to apply each

- Are proficient in meshing and CAD-to-solver workflows, capable of diagnosing and resolving geometry-driven numerical problems

- Can coordinate large sweeps on high-performance computing clusters, applying an understanding of solver scaling and convergence controls

- Communicate complex results effectively to provide clear design guidance, hotspot attribution, and trade-offs

## Nice to Have

- Understand extensions such as PTD, UTD, and edge diffraction methods

## 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
