Lead Researcher

Helm AI is building a flight simulator for strategic decision making using advanced agentic simulations to model population-scale human behavior. As a Lead Researcher, you will design, develop, and evaluate models that simulate large-scale human and organizational behavior, while collaborating with product and domain experts to translate real-world scenarios into formal models.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and evaluate models that simulate large-scale human and organizational behavior
• Formulate research questions, build prototypes, run experiments, and analyze results to improve the accuracy and robustness of agent-based simulations
• Implement and optimize algorithms, working with datasets and synthetic environments
• Translate conceptual ideas into production-ready models in collaboration with engineering
• Collaborate closely with product and domain experts to map real-world scenarios into formal models
• Communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
