Helsing – Formula Student Programme | Closed Opportunity

Candidates with backgrounds and experience in the following disciplines are of particular interest:

• Autonomous Systems – development and integration of self-governing vehicle and control systems
• Aerodynamics – vehicle aerodynamic design, simulation, and performance optimisation
• Mechatronics – combined mechanical, electrical, and control systems engineering
• AI & Software – artificial intelligence, machine learning, and software development within complex engineering environments

This opportunity is relevant to you if you are a current Formula Student Germany participant and are considering one of the following pathways within the next two years:

• Working Student Opportunities – you are looking to complement your studies with part-time, applied industry experience at a cutting-edge technology company
• Full-Time Roles – you are approaching or planning the transition from study to full-time employment and are seeking a high-impact role within an ambitious and mission-driven organisation

Whether you are at the earlier stages of your academic journey or approaching graduation, Helsing is keen to understand your timeline and interests to explore how you could contribute to their work.

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically 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.

• 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
