Helsing is a defense AI company focused on protecting democracies through technological leadership and ethical AI development. As Senior Product Graphic Designer in Munich, you will shape the visual identity and user experience of autonomous defense systems deployed on aircraft, submarines, and autonomous platforms.
Your responsibilities include:
• Design liveries, decals, and surface identifiers for manufactured hardware, creating 2D artwork mapped onto complex 3D geometry that survives real-world tooling, paint, and finishing processes
• Design indication functions and operator interfaces using light, mark, and layout to communicate system state, sensing capabilities, and autonomy status; validate solutions with operational crews before production
• Prototype hardware behavior and interactions in After Effects, Figma, and 3D visualization tools; create films and demonstrations that allow colleagues and customers to understand systems before they exist
• Extend Helsing's brand identity across packaging, deployment cases, kits, manuals, and quick-start guides to ensure cohesive product experience
• Produce presentation materials, pitch decks, and marketing content using 2D graphics, 3D visuals, and animation to communicate complex capabilities to diverse audiences
You will work at the intersection of industrial design, human-machine interface, and brand strategy, directly contributing to systems that protect democratic nations. The role offers exposure to cutting-edge defense technology, unique technical constraints, and the opportunity to influence both product and organizational culture.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Demonstrated experience putting graphic design work onto manufactured hardware in aerospace, robotics, automotive, mobility, or deep-tech products; understanding of downstream manufacturing processes
• Design expertise balancing aesthetics with usability; human-machine interface and ergonomics thinking to ensure marks help operators act quickly and safely
• Proficiency creating motion and interactive prototypes in Adobe After Effects and Figma; using prototypes to test ideas, not just present them
• Strong editorial and information design skills, including technical manuals, infographics, and presentation materials
• Ability to map graphics onto complex surfaces using tools such as KeyShot, Blender, Alias, or Rhino; fluency in Adobe Creative Suite
NICE TO HAVE:
• Experience visualizing concepts in VRED, Unreal, or Cinema 4D to presentation-ready standards
• Rapid prototyping experience using 3D printing and physical mock-ups to validate surfaces and graphics
