Résumé du poste

Harmattan AI seeks an Embedded Electrical Engineer to own the compute modules from architecture to boards that fly. You will work with R&D to deliver high-speed digital designs, robust power architectures, and qualification plans for flight-worthy hardware.

This role demands hands-on bench work, collaboration with software and mechanical teams, and a track record of taking boards from prototype to production in demanding environments.

Qualifications

MSc in electrical, computer, or related field; PhD is a plus.
5+ years in embedded hardware design, taking boards from spec to production.
High-speed design with layout constraints and signal integrity, memory interfaces, power topology.
In-depth knowledge of electronic CAD tools (e.g., Altium).
Experience planning and executing thermal, vibration, EMC and ESD qualification.
Experience with fabrication and assembly partners on stack-up, vias, and cost trade-offs.
Rigorous, autonomous problem-solving from concept to production.
Excellent written and verbal communication with engineers and senior stakeholders.
Additional strengths: FPGA/MPSoC design, AI inference on embedded targets, UAS/drone/defense hardware experience.
100% dedication to Harmattan AI's mission; thrives in fast-paced environments.

Responsabilités

Board Design: design SoMs, baseboards, and test boards for compute platforms.
High-Speed Digital Design: PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, MIPI with signal integrity.
Power Design: power trees, sequencing, conversion topologies, power-up/down verification.
Design Reviews: lead milestones from block diagram to fabrication release.
Manufacture: collaborate with PCB/EMS on stack-up, vias, and cost.
Bring Up & Qualification: verification plans, board troubleshooting, thermal and EMC tests.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: coordinate with software, mechanical, and validation teams.

Description du poste

About Us

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

About the role

As an Embedded Electrical Engineer at Harmattan AI, you will join the R&D team to design the compute modules and associated boards used across our platforms. You will own these designs end-to-end, from system architecture and schematic through layout guidance, fabrication, bring-up, and qualification. This is a high-impact role that combines demanding high-speed design work with hands-on bench work, taking hardware from a first prototype through to boards that fly.

Responsibilities

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.

Candidate requirements

Educational Background: 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.
Experience: 5 years minimum in embedded hardware design, with boards taken from specification through bring-up and qualification into production.
Technical Expertise: 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.
Tools: In-depth knowledge of electronic CAD tools (e.g., Altium).
Testing Proficiency: Proficiency with electronic test equipment and experience planning thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
Manufacturing: Experience working with fabrication and assembly partners on stack-up, via technology, and cost trade-offs.
Problem Solving: Rigorous, structured, and analytical; able to work autonomously and see a board from concept through to production.
Communication and Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication, able to present design and test results to engineers and senior stakeholders.
Additional Skills: FPGA or MPSoC design, prior work deploying AI inference on embedded targets, and UAS, drone, or defence hardware experience are strong advantages.
Commitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI's mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence. Thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and no task is too small.
