Descrizione del lavoro

Helsing is seeking a Product Manager (Air) – Perception & Sensor Fusion to define the vision and roadmap for airborne perception software. You’ll coordinate EO/IR and RF sensor processing, data fusion, and navigation in GNSS‑denied environments, working with engineers, flight test teams and customers to deliver measurable operational capabilities.

Join Helsing to shape a core capability for a next‑generation European uncrewed aircraft, balancing ethical and geopolitical concerns while driving

Competenze

• Have shipped sensing, perception or data fusion capabilities as a product manager, technical product owner or systems architect, ideally in aerospace, defence, autonomous vehicles or robotics
• Understand sensor data processing (EO/IR and/or RF, radar, ESM), multi-target tracking and multi-sensor data fusion in depth
• Have taken a complex capability from requirements through integration and test into the field or into flight
• Turn ambiguous operational or customer needs into structured requirements, metrics and a prioritised roadmap, and decide clearly what not to build
• Communicate clearly and credibly with engineers, programme leaders, customers and senior military stakeholders, in writing and in person
• Are eligible to obtain national security clearance and can travel to test sites, customers and partners
• 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.
• Have worked on collaborative or distributed fusion across multiple platforms, including operation under constrained or intermittent datalinks
• Understand perception‑aided navigation, such as visual, image‑based or terrain‑referenced navigation, and navigation integrity in GNSS‑degraded environments
• Know military aviation, ISR or electronic warfare, for example through industry work or service as aircrew, WSO or EW/ISR officer
• Understand tactical data links, C2 interfaces and common operating picture concepts, such as Link 16 and NATO standards
• Have worked within airworthiness, safety and certification processes for airborne software, such as DO-178C
• Have hands‑on experience of ML‑based perception, simulation or synthetic data for training and validation
• Have worked with European defence customers and procurement agencies, such as BAAINBw

Mansioni

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for airborne perception, covering EO/IR and RF sensor processing, multi-level data fusion, situational awareness and perception‑aided navigation, so that every release maps to a defined operational capability
• Translate operational needs, mission threads and customer requirements into product requirements, measurable KPIs and acceptance criteria that engineering and flight test can verify
• Work closely with perception, fusion, autonomy and navigation engineers to resolve architecture‑level trade‑offs across performance, latency, bandwidth, SWaP and schedule
• Define how perception outputs and the common operating picture serve mission autonomy, collaborative operations and the human operator, including how uncertainty is represented and communicated
• Partner with systems engineering, flight test and safety teams to shape test and evidence strategies, from simulation and hardware‑in‑the‑loop to flight test campaigns
• Shape the perception data strategy with data and ML infrastructure teams, including collection campaigns, simulation and synthetic data needs
• Work directly with customers, operational users and partners to gather feedback and run demonstrations, keeping the roadmap anchored in real‑world operational value
