About the role

Electronics Engineer to design and build electrical systems for Helsing's platforms, from PCB design and electrical architecture to prototype bring-up, with a focus on robust, field-ready electronics at the hardware-systems interface.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and validate bespoke PCBs from schematic through to hands-on bring-up, covering power, digital, and mixed-signal electronics, using tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad
  • Define the electrical architecture of UAV platforms, producing wiring diagrams, power distribution schemes, and interface definitions for system integration across mechanical, software, and avionics boundaries
  • Select and specify components across sensors, actuators, controllers, and power systems, trading off performance, cost, availability, and integration effort to make well-reasoned, documented design decisions
  • Integrate communication interfaces such as CAN Bus, Ethernet, and RS422/485, and support RF and radio systems, ensuring robust data and power distribution across the platform
  • Define and execute unit-level tests, contribute to reliability and safety analyses such as FMEA, and produce clear design documentation including wiring diagrams, schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM

Qualifications

  • Have designed and integrated electrical and electronic systems in a professional engineering context, ideally within aerospace or a similarly demanding domain
  • Proficient in PCB design and layout, with hands-on experience using ECAD tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad and simulation tools such as LTSpice
  • Can interpret complex third-party datasheets and technical documentation, translating electrical characteristics and constraints into sound, well-reasoned design decisions
  • Have experience designing cable harnesses and defining communication interfaces, and have worked with RF or radio systems in a hardware integration context
  • Collaborate effectively across mechanical, software, and systems engineering disciplines, and communicate clearly in written and spoken English
  • Nice to have: experience with ECAD/MCAD co-design workflows and integration of electrical systems into complex electromechanical assemblies
  • Nice to have: contributed to reliability or safety analyses such as FMEA in production or pre-production engineering context

Skills

Required:Electrical system designPCB design and layoutElectrical architecture definitionInterface integration (CAN, Ethernet, RS422/485)

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • VSOP options
  • Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation
  • Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance
  • Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)
  • Social: regular company events and monthly social allowances
  • Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregivers
  • Family support: 5 days paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to work
  • Hands-on onboarding program (Infraduction) to build tooling and applications used across the company
