Who we are
Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.
As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.
We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.
The role
Electronic warfare is one of the most technically demanding and operationally consequential domains in modern defence — and it is one where Helsing intends to make a real difference. As Product Manager for Electronic Warfare, you will lead product work across offboard and cross-platform EW capabilities: from problem framing and discovery, through requirements definition and roadmap, to release and iteration in production. You will work directly with EW operators, analysts, and mission planners in their environments, translating complex and often ambiguous operational inputs into precise product requirements. Embedded within a cross-functional team spanning RF hardware, embedded software, machine learning, and ground-side tooling, you will ensure that trade-offs are surfaced clearly, decisions are made with confidence, and a consistent shipping cadence is maintained — even in security-constrained and data-scarce conditions. This role can be based out of either Munich or Berlin, with regular travel to customer sites across Europe.
The day-to-day
Own the product scope for offboard and cross-platform EW capabilities — leading problem framing, discovery, requirements, roadmap, and release across the full product lifecycle
•
Engage directly with EW operators, analysts, and mission planners in their working environments, converting operationally complex and often second-hand inputs into clear, actionable product specifications
•
Define and continuously improve the workflows by which customers adapt Helsing’s products to their own data environments and operational contexts under security and data-availability constraints
•
Drive the end-to-end process by which mission-critical data products are built, validated, and rolled out across teams and platforms — maintaining rigour at every stage
•
Determine how Helsing’s products integrate with customers’ existing data sources, intelligence systems, and mission planning tools, ensuring operational coherence at the point of use
•
Facilitate clear decision-making across a cross-functional team spanning RF, embedded software, ML, and ground-side tooling — making trade-offs visible and ensuring they are resolved with appropriate urgency
•
Establish and maintain a regular, reliable shipping cadence into production environments where the conditions for frequent deployment are difficult by default
You should apply if you
•
Have built and shipped data- or ML-driven products to specialist professional users in complex, high-stakes, or regulated domains — with real operational consequences for end users
•
Have worked directly with end users in mission-critical or operational settings, translating ambiguous, real-world needs into precise and implementable product requirements
•
Have successfully integrated products into existing customer data sources, intelligence systems, and operational toolchains — and maintained a consistent production shipping cadence in constrained
environments
•
Engage substantively with engineering teams spanning RF hardware, embedded software, and machine learning — bringing enough technical fluency to make trade-offs legible and decisions well-founded
•
Hold a degree in electrical engineering, physics, computer science, or a related STEM discipline
•
Hold a valid work permit for Germany, are eligible to undergo a German government security clearance at SÜ2 level, and have professional proficiency in English alongside working proficiency in German (B1 or above)
Nice to Have
•
Experience building products for defence, government, or other mission-critical customers, particularly in data-scarce or security-constrained environments
•
A background in radar, RF, or electronic warfare — whether academic, industrial, or operational (for example, as an EW operator, SIGINT analyst, or radar/EW engineer)
•
Direct experience with offboard EW, including mission data analysis workflows, or with cross-platform and networked EW architectures
Join Helsing and work with world-leading experts in their fields
•
Helsing’s work is important. You’ll be directly contributing to the protection of democratic countries while balancing both ethical and geopolitical concerns
•
The work is unique. We operate in a domain that has highly unusual technical requirements and constraints, and where robustness, safety, and ethical considerations are vital. You will face unique Engineering and AI challenges that make a meaningful impact in the world
•
Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure. The defence industry is entering the most exciting phase of the technological development curve. Advances in our field of world are not incremental: Helsing is part of, and often leading, historic leaps forward
•
In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities. This means we take bets, aim high, and focus on big opportunities. Despite being a relatively young company, Helsing has already been selected for multiple significant government contracts
•
We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it. Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity. At Helsing you will have a say in how we (and you!) work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn’t work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply about
