Résumé du poste

Helsing is a defence AI company seeking an engineer to run mission analysis for constellation design, own system budgets and interfaces, and build analysis tooling to production standards.

You will act as the technical expert for satellite system design, drive trade studies across subsystems, and present results to internal teams, partners, and the customer. The role leads up to flight readiness and involves working on space programmes.

Qualifications

• A master's or PhD in aerospace engineering, physics, or a related field, with hands-on work on at least one flown or near-flight space programme.
• Fluency in orbit mechanics and mission analysis, with tools such as GMAT, FreeFlyer, STK, or Orekit. You can work from first principles where no tool exists.
• A working grasp of spacecraft systems engineering across requirements, budgets, interfaces, and verification.
• Recognised depth in at least one subsystem, for example AOCS and GNC, propulsion, power, thermal, or TT&C and RF.
• Several years of production-grade software work in a large, shared codebase, with code review, CI, testing, and documentation. Python, plus at least one of Rust or modern C++.
• Strong mathematics and physics, for example linear algebra, numerical methods, and error budgets.

Responsabilités

• Run mission analysis for constellation design, for example orbit selection, revisit and coverage, or launch and disposal.
• Own requirements flowdown, system budgets (mass, power, link), and the interfaces between segments.
• Build and maintain the analysis tooling the rest of the team relies on, to production standards.
• Act as the technical expert for satellite system design, including subsystems.
• Drive trade studies across subsystems and segments. Present the results to internal teams, partners, and the customer.
