## Description

## Job Description

Helsing is a defence AI company that aims to protect democracies through technological leadership. We are looking for a Multimodal Sensing and Fusion Engineer to join our team in Berlin, London, or Munich.

## The Role

As a Multimodal Sensing and Fusion Engineer, you will own the sensing stack end-to-end, architecting a multimodal perception front-end that combines various sensors into a single input to Helsing's AI. You will translate mission requirements into specifications for sensor selection, placement, synchronisation, and calibration, and define safety concepts for the system.

## Responsibilities

- Define the multimodal sensing architecture, selecting and integrating sensors to optimise algorithm performance and balance trade-offs.

- Own sensor synchronisation, designing and implementing time synchronisation across heterogeneous sensors.

- Own sensor calibration, developing intrinsic, extrinsic, spatial, and temporal calibration procedures.

- Define safety concepts, deriving failure modes, fault detection, isolation, and recovery concepts.

- Drive system design and architecture, analysing the interplay of hardware, software, and algorithms.

- Bring hardware to life, spending hands-on time in the lab testing and integrating prototypes.

- Tune data quality, analysing application-specific sensing performance and adjusting designs.

## Requirements

- A Ph.D. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics, Robotics, or a related field.

- A professional track record building multimodal sensing or sensor-fusion systems.

- Demonstrated understanding of system-level synchronisation and sensor calibration.

- Ability to derive safety concepts for a sensing or perception subsystem.

- Strong systems design instincts and proficiency in C/C++ or Rust and Python.

## Nice to Have

- Depth in one or more sensor modalities, such as thermal imaging or FMCW radar signal processing.

- IMU and inertial navigation expertise.

- Sensor-fusion estimation experience.

- Low-level hardware experience.

- Background in automotive, robotics, or aerospace sensor fusion.

## 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.

- Social: regular company events and monthly social allowances.

- Enhanced parental leave and family support.
