Embedded Electrical Engineer – SoM & High-Speed HW

Harmattan AI; Zürich; Vor Ort; CHF 120.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Harmattan AI is seeking an Embedded Electrical Engineer to join the R&D team and own the design of compute modules and boards used across our platforms. You will take designs from architecture through layout, fabrication, bring-up, and qualification, delivering robust hardware for mission-critical defence systems.

You will work on high-speed design, PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, MIPI, power trees, and cross-functional validation with software and mechanical teams, aiming for

Qualifikationen

• MSc in electrical, computer, or a related engineering field. A PhD is a plus. A hands-on design and bring-up record matters more than the specific degree.
• 5 years minimum in embedded hardware design, with boards taken from specification through bring-up and qualification into production.
• High-speed design including layout constraints, signal integrity, and validation.
• Systems built around a processor with external memory (DDR, Flash) are carried through to a committed layout.
• Power trees with deliberate conversion topologies and verified power-up and power-down behaviour.
• In-depth knowledge of electronic CAD tools (e.g., Altium).
• Proficiency with electronic test equipment and experience planning thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
• Experience working with fabrication and assembly partners on stack-up, via technology, and cost trade-offs.
• Rigorous, structured, and analytical; able to work autonomously and see a board from concept through to production.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to present design and test results to engineers and senior stakeholders.
• FPGA or MPSoC design, prior work deploying AI inference on embedded targets, and UAS, drone, or defence hardware experience are strong advantages.
• 100% dedication to Harmattan AI's mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.

Aufgaben

• Board Design: Design SoMs, baseboards, and test boards for our compute platforms.
• High-Speed Digital Design: Design around high-end application processors, covering PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, and MIPI, managing layout constraints and signal integrity.
• Power Design: Design power trees, sequencing, and conversion topologies, and verify power-up and power-down behaviour.
• Design Reviews: Prepare and lead design reviews at each milestone, from block diagram to release for fabrication.
• Manufacture: Work with PCB and EMS partners on stack-up, via technology, layout guidance, and cost trade-offs.
• Bring Up and Qualification: Define verification test plans, troubleshoot and characterise boards, and run thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with the embedded software team through board bring-up, the mechanical team on form factor and thermal constraints, and validation for flight qualification.
