Helsing is a defence AI company whose mission is to protect our democracies through technological leadership. The company builds AI-powered defence systems that must perform in the most demanding environments on earth — and the hardware they live in matters as much as the software.

The role

As Senior Industrial Designer at Helsing, you will help define and shape the physical design language across Helsing's expanding portfolio of defence technology products. You will take ownership of projects from early-stage concept development through to production-ready execution — translating complex technical systems into refined, intuitive and visually distinctive physical products.

What you will own

End-to-end industrial design: concept, development, production handoff
Working at the intersection of aesthetics, ergonomics and manufacturability
Collaborating closely with engineering, manufacturing and product teams
Shaping Helsing's cross-domain design identity beyond individual projects
Designing hardware that operates in demanding real-world environments

Who you are

A senior industrial designer with a portfolio of shipped physical products
Experience with complex technical products — aerospace, defence, robotics or automotive are ideal backgrounds
Comfort navigating engineering constraints while protecting design intent
Strong English communication; based in Munich or willing to relocate

Why Helsing

This is a rare role at the intersection of design and defence technology — with real breadth, real ownership, and products where thoughtful design genuinely protects lives.
