Helsing is a defence AI company focused on protecting democracies through technological leadership and ethical AI development. This Environmental Engineer role owns the environmental definition and certification strategy for weapon systems across their full lifecycle—from manufacture through target deployment to disposal.
You will be responsible for setting system-level environmental requirements, decomposing them to subsystem and equipment levels, and using analysis to identify and design out risks early in development. A key part of the role is developing innovative qualification strategies that leverage new technologies and methods to reduce cost and timescales, then securing stakeholder agreement on these approaches.
Day-to-day responsibilities include:
- Owning the Manufacture-to-Target-Disposal-Sequence and specifying weapon system environmental requirements
- Conducting environmental analysis to identify risks early and support design decisions before qualification
- Developing qualification strategies using novel technologies and processes to reduce cost and timescales
- Acting as technical point of contact for internal and external test facilities, coordinating with supply chain and production teams
- Analyzing test results, producing certification-ready reports, and generating environmental evidence statements with clear traceability
You will work across engineering, supply chain, and production teams to keep schedules intact and deliver campaigns on time, on cost, and on quality. As the environmental engineering capability grows, you will help shape processes and mentor the team.
Helsing emphasizes a culture of open debate on technology ethics, responsible autonomy, and outcome-focused work. The company operates at the cutting edge of defence AI, working on historically significant technological advances.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Specified environmental requirements for complex systems and decomposed them to subsystem and equipment level
- Conducted environmental analysis that identifies risks early and shapes design decisions before qualification
- Planned and overseen environmental test campaigns with internal or external facilities, from scope through to reporting
- Produced evidence and reports that stand up to certification scrutiny, with clear traceability to analysis and test data
- Worked across engineering, supply chain, and production teams to agree qualification approaches and maintain schedules
NICE TO HAVE:
- Introduced novel proving or qualification methods that reduced cost or timescales against conventional approaches
- Helped grow an engineering capability through lessons learned reviews, process refinement, or recruitment
