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.
As a Specialist Export Control, you will hold a critical position in bridging the gap between regulatory compliance and operational execution. You will act as a high-agency professional, taking full ownership of our daily export control operations—including licensing, releases, screening, and the customs interface. Beyond day-to-day throughput, your work will directly enable our growth by driving the projects that make these operations scalable, such as system rollouts, process automation, and building licensing architectures for new programs and sites. This role requires a hands-on specialist who thrives on operational excellence, complementing our ITAR/EAR regulatory function by owning our process architecture. You will work directly with our Executive Export Control Officer (Ausfuhrverantwortlicher) and design the vital controls they rely on, while formal personal liability remains at the management level.
