Job description

The Role As a UAV Lab Technician, you will play a critical role in the assembly and manufacturing of our advanced UAV systems. Working closely with our engineering and production teams, you’ll ensure each unit meets our high standards of performance and safety.
The day-to-day
  • Assist in the assembly and integration of UAV systems, including airframes, electronics, and propulsion systems.
  • Conduct quality checks and troubleshoot issues during the build process.
  • Maintain tools and equipment in the production environment.
  • Collaborate with engineers to refine and improve the manufacturing process.
You should apply if you
  • Proven technical experience, preferably in UAVs, electronics, or aerospace.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow complex instructions.
  • Hands-on skills with tools and mechanical/electrical systems.
  • Team-oriented mindset with good communication skills.
  • Passion for technology and innovation.
Note: We operate at an intersection where women, as well as other minority groups, are systemically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points. 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.
What we offer
  • A focus on outcomes, not time-tracking
  • Competitive compensation and stock options
  • Relocation support
  • Social and education allowances
  • Regular company events and all-hands to bring together employees as one team across Europe
