AI Research Engineer - GPU Simulation

Helsing is a defence AI company developing technology for democratic countries. The AI Research Engineer will build and scale a GPU-based simulator and reinforcement-learning training tools for air autonomy, improve simulation fidelity, and support transfer of trained policies to real aircraft.

Responsibilities:

• Build, extend, and scale our GPU-based simulator to train reinforcement-learning agents across thousands of parallel environments
• Develop the tooling that underpins RL training, including domain randomisation, to improve sim-to-real generalisation
• Improve the fidelity and performance of simulation models, from flight dynamics to sensing
• Enable sim-to-real transfer by supporting the export of trained policies and assets into downstream simulators and, ultimately, onto physical hardware
• Collaborate with AI specialists and engineers to align the simulator with training needs and mission-relevant outcomes
