<h2><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Who we are</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<div><span data-contrast="auto">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.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></div>
<div><span data-contrast="auto">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.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></div>
<div><span data-contrast="auto">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.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></div>
<h2><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The role</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<div><span data-contrast="auto">As Safety Manager (System Safety), you will lead the system-safety domain across our platforms. You will develop and maintain the System Safety Programme Plan (SSPP) and coordinate hazard identification, preliminary hazard analysis (PHA), risk assessment and system-level safety architecture. You will ensure safety requirements trace cleanly to system functions, and lead system-wide safety activities that identify, assess and mitigate weapon-specific safety requirements. Your work integrates every weapon safety demand into the system safety lifecycle and keeps our systems compliant with applicable regulations. You make sure the technology that protects our democracies is safe by design, and safe in the field.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></div>
