Product Manager — Electronic Warfare (Offboard & Cross-Platform)

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 Electronic warfare is one of the most technically demanding and operationally consequential domains in modern defence — and it is one where Helsing intends to make a real difference. As Product Manager for Electronic Warfare, you will lead product work across offboard and cross-platform EW capabilities: from problem framing and discovery, through requirements definition and roadmap, to release and iteration in production. You will work directly with EW operators, analysts, and mission planners in their environments, translating complex and often ambiguous operational inputs into precise product requirements. Embedded within a cross-functional team spanning RF hardware, embedded software, machine learning, and ground-side tooling, you will ensure that trade-offs are surfaced clearly, decisions are made with confidence, and a consistent shipping cadence is maintained — even in security-constrained and data-scarce conditions. This role can be based out of either Munich or Berlin, with regular travel to customer sites across Europe. The day-to-day Own the product scope for offboard and cross-platform EW capabilities — leading problem framing, discovery, requirements, roadmap, and release across the full product lifecycle Engage directly with EW operators, analysts, and mission planners in their working environments, converting operationally complex and often second-hand inputs into clear, actionable product specifications Define and continuously improve the workflows by which customers adapt Helsing's products to their own data environments and operational contexts under security and data-availability constraints Drive the end-to-end process by which mission-critical data products are built, validated, and rolled out across teams and platforms — maintaining rigour at every stage Determine how Helsing's products integrate with customers' existing data sources, intelligence systems, and mission planning tools, ensuring operational coherence at the point of use Facilitate clear decision-making across a cross-functional team spanning RF, embedded software, ML, and ground-side tooling — making trade-offs visible and ensuring they are resolved with appropriate urgency Establish and maintain a regular, reliable shipping cadence into production environments where the conditions for frequent deployment are difficult by default You should apply if you Have built and shipped data- or ML-driven products to specialist professional users in complex, high-stakes, or regulated domains — with real operational consequences for end users Have worked directly with end users in mission-critical or operational settings, translating ambiguous, real-world needs into precise and implementable product requirements Have successfully integrated products into existing customer data sources, intelligence systems, and operational toolchains — and maintained a consistent production shipping cadence in constrained environments Engage substantively with engineering teams spanning RF hardware, embedded software, and machine learning — bringing enough technical fluency to make trade-offs legible and decisions well-founded Hold a degree in electrical
