Helsing – Formula Student Programme
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
If you are a member or alumni of a Formula Student team, this is exclusively for you - applying to this role ensures that the people you interview with know about Formula Student, and have contributed to it themselves.
Helsing sponsors three Formula Student teams (AMZ, TUfast and KA-RaceIng), is a partner of Formula Student Germany, and contributes for the Formula Student community in other ways. We do this not only because we believe that Formula Student is awesome - we do it because we believe that Formula Student breeds the kind of exceptional engineering talent and attitude we look for in candidates.
Programme Focus Areas
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
You should apply if you
You should apply if you are a Formula Student alumnus and you are looking for an opportunity at Helsing in the next few months as one of the following:
- Working Student – you are a full time university student, no longer in a functional position of your Formula Student team, and want to work part-time during the semester
- Intern – you would like to complement your sides with a semester of full-time work experience
- Full-Time Employee – you have graduated from university or have work experience already
By default, we require office attendance in either Munich or London. If that is an issue, or you require relocation support, please say so during your first interview.
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.
