Jobbeschreibung

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

We are looking for a Product Manager to own the product vision and roadmap for the Command & Control (C2) systems and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) that operators use to task, monitor, and collaborate with autonomous combat air systems. You will define how a single operator commands complex, multi-platform autonomy—turning high-level operator intent into effective, mission-ready capability.

You will sit at the intersection of operators, engineers, and designers, translating real operational needs into a coherent product. This is a role for someone who understands both the mission and the software, and who can bring clarity and pace to an ambitious, fast-evolving C2 landscape.

The day-to-day

• Own the C2 and HMI product roadmap: Define, prioritize, and drive the roadmap for command & control workflows and operator interfaces. Balance operational impact, technical feasibility, and programme milestones into a clear, executable plan.

• Ground the product in operational reality: Work directly with operators and domain experts to capture mission workflows, tasking concepts, and human-autonomy teaming requirements. Translate these into crisp product requirements and user stories.

• Partner with engineering and design: Work day-to-day with engineers and UX designers to shape intuitive, high-tempo interfaces for supervising autonomous behavior, managing mission state, and maintaining operator situational awareness.

• Drive C2 interoperability: Own the product strategy for integrating with upstream air C2 systems and mission planning tools used by air forces, ensuring our capability plugs cleanly into existing command chains and data flows.

• Manage stakeholders and delivery: Align internal teams, external partners, and customers around a shared vision. Communicate roadmap, trade-offs, and progress clearly to both technical and operational audiences.
