Senior System Engineer – Product Security, Crypto and Cyber

Helsing is hiring a Senior Systems Engineer specialising in product security, cryptography and cyber for its CA-1 programme, which builds the software-defined intelligence layer for an advanced European combat aircraft. You will define and govern the platform's security architecture, from security requirements shaping hardware and software design to the compliance artefacts required by national and NATO security authorities. The role covers the aircraft-level security concept, intra- and inter-vehicle communication security, cryptographic key management including erase and zeroise functions, and vulnerability analysis and adversarial testing. You will work directly with customers such as the Bundeswehr and German national security authorities, so professional fluency in German is required.
