COMPANYHelsing

As an Electronics Engineer on the Physical Products team, you will design and build the electrical systems that bring Helsing's platforms to life. From component selection and electrical architecture definition through to bespoke PCB design and hands-on prototype bring-up, you will shape how our systems are powered, connected, and controlled. Working at the intersection of hardware and systems engineering, you will translate complex requirements into robust, field-ready electronics, iterating rapidly to de-risk designs and validate concepts early. Your work will directly advance Helsing's mission to equip democratic societies with capable, reliable defence technology.

The day-to-day:

  • Design, build, and validate bespoke PCBs from schematic through to hands-on bring-up, covering power, digital, and mixed-signal electronics, using tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad.
  • Define the electrical architecture of UAV platforms, producing wiring diagrams, power distribution schemes, and interface definitions that underpin system integration across mechanical, software, and avionics boundaries.
  • Select and specify components across sensors, actuators, controllers, and power systems, trading off performance, cost, availability, and integration effort to make well-reasoned, documented design decisions.
  • Integrate communication interfaces such as CAN Bus, Ethernet, and RS422/485, and support RF and radio systems, ensuring robust data and power distribution across the platform.
  • Define and execute unit-level tests, contribute to reliability and safety analyses such as FMEA, and produce clear design documentation including wiring diagrams, schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM.

You should apply if you:

  • Have designed and integrated electrical and electronic systems in a professional engineering context, ideally within aerospace or a similarly demanding domain.
  • Are proficient in PCB design and layout, with hands-on experience using ECAD tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad and simulation tools such as LTSpice.
