Machine Learning Engineer, Detection and Tracking

Strong proficiency in Rust or C++ for production model deployment and optimization

Experience with multiple sensor modalities — particularly infrared or thermal imaging

Familiarity with MLOps tooling: experiment tracking (MLflow, Weights & Biases), dataset versioning, model registries

Experience with annotation tools and workflows (CVAT, Label Studio, or similar)

Experience with simulators, emulators, or synthetic data generation for training and evaluation

Experience deploying models on GPU-accelerated embedded platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, similar)

A focus on outcomes, not time-tracking

You will own the detection and tracking models that power Helsing's products — training, tuning, and deploying models against US-specific datasets.

This is an applied ML role: you won't be writing research papers, but you will be expected to have strong intuition for model performance, data quality, and the practical trade-offs involved in getting detection and tracking systems to work reliably in production.

You will manage the full model lifecycle — from assessing and curating training data through annotation, training, evaluation, and deployment to edge platforms.

Helsing develops artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities to protect and defend democracies. We build Altra, an AI-powered drone software platform, and HX-2, our autonomous drone. We are growing our US operations, cultivating an ambitious and committed team of mission-driven professionals to apply their skills to solve challenging problems.
