• Integration & Validation: Lead board bring-up, RF integration, prototyping and validation against performance targets.

• Technical Coordination: Collaborate across software, mechanical, GNC and ML teams on system integration and technical interfaces.

• System Reviews & Documentation: Contribute to design and architecture reviews, maintaining consistency between requirements, design and testing.

Candidate Requirements

• Strong background in RF hardware design is mandatory, including radio or radar front-end design.

• No prior Electronic Warfare experience required.

• Experience in RF integration is a plus.

• Experience with high-power switching supplies (narrow pulse generation) is a definite plus.

• Experience with high-voltage PCB / supply design and shielding.

• MSc in Electrical / Electronics Engineering; PhD is a plus.

• Broad engineering culture with understanding of mechanical, software and embedded systems.

• Rigorous, structured and mission-driven mindset with strong analytical skills.

• Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
