Senior Industrial Designer

As Senior Industrial Designer at Helsing, you will help define and shape the physical design language across our expanding portfolio of defence technology products. This is a role with significant breadth and depth, you will take ownership of projects from early-stage concept development through to production-ready execution, translating complex technical systems into refined, intuitive and visually distinctive physical products. Working closely with engineering, manufacturing and product teams, you will operate at the intersection of aesthetics, ergonomics and manufacturability, ensuring that what we build is not only functional but coherent, considered and capable of operating in demanding real-world environments. Your contribution will extend beyond individual projects: you will actively shape Helsing's cross-domain design identity and help build a product portfolio that reflects the seriousness and ambition of our mission.
