Résumé du poste

Harmattan AI is seeking an Embedded Electrical Engineer to join the R&D team. You will own compute modules and boards end-to-end from architecture to bring-up and qualification, working hands-on to bring prototypes to flight-ready hardware.

The role blends high-speed digital design with power topology and rigorous verification, requiring collaboration with software, mechanical, and validation teams to support mission-critical defense platforms.

Qualifications

MSc in electrical, computer, or a related engineering field; PhD a plus.
5 years minimum in embedded hardware design, from spec to production bring-up.
High-speed design including layout constraints, signal integrity, and validation.
Knowledge of electronic CAD tools (e.g., Altium).
Proficiency with test equipment and planning thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
Experience with fabrication/assembly partners on stack-up and cost trade-offs.
Strong problem solving, autonomy, and ability to take a board from concept to production.
Excellent written and verbal communication, able to present results to engineers and senior stakeholders.
FPGA/MPSoC design, AI inference on embedded targets, and UAS/defence hardware experience are advantages.
100% commitment to Harmattan AI’s mission and growth.

Responsabilités

Board Design: design SoMs, baseboards, and test boards for compute platforms.
High-Speed Digital Design: work with PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, and MIPI while managing signal integrity.
Power Design: develop power trees, sequencing, and conversion topologies and verify power-up/down behavior.
Design Reviews: lead reviews from block diagrams to fabrication release.
Manufacture: collaborate with PCB/EMS partners on stack-up, via technology, and cost trade-offs.
Bring Up and Qualification: define test plans, troubleshoot boards, and perform thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD testing.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: work with embedded software, mechanical, and flight qualification 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.
