Senior Hardware Engineer - High-Power PCBs

Signal Processing Engineer (RF Processing & Analytics); Paris; Sur place; EUR 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Harmattan AI is seeking a senior hardware engineer to own electronics design end-to-end for field-deployable drone-launcher hardware. You will drive PCB schematics, layout, power conversion, and thermal strategies for rugged outdoor use, bridging hardware and firmware with a small autonomous team.

You will ensure manufacturability, BOM optimization, and robust environmental qualification, collaborating with mechanical and embedded software engineers to deliver production-ready hardware solutions.

Qualifications

• Senior hardware engineer with PCB design and power electronics experience.
• Experience designing for outdoor deployment with thermal and environmental considerations.
• Strong schematics, layout, and bring-up skills; cost and manufacturability awareness.
• Ability to work autonomously in small teams and bridge hardware and firmware.

Responsabilités

• Schematic Design - design complete schematics for mixed-signal and power boards.
• PCB Layout & Routing - board placement and routing with signal integrity and EMC focus.
• Power & Thermal Architecture - define power architecture and thermal strategy incl. battery temp management.
• Environmental Robustness - ensure electronics withstand outdoor deployment and define qualification plan.
• Component Selection & BOM Optimization - select components for cost, availability and reliability; drive BOM cost reductions.
• Hardware Bring-up & Debug - lead board bring-up, debug with oscilloscopes and bench equipment; write bring-up scripts.
• EMC & Safety Compliance - address EMC, ensure signal integrity and electrical safety.
• Collaboration with Embedded SW - define hardware/software interfaces and support firmware bring-up.
• Collaboration with Mechanical - ensure PCB integration into enclosures.
• Supplier & Manufacturing Ramp-up - qualify PCB manufacturers; support DFM/DFA and NPI transitions.
• Documentation - maintain schematics, layout files, test procedures, hardware specs.
