Senior Electrical Engineer

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 Electrical Engineer , your main role will be to design and develop electronic boards and embedded systems (SoM) for UAVs (e.g., Flight Controllers, Companion Computers, Electronic Speed Controllers). Responsibilities High-performance embedded system design : Define the architecture and design the physical and electrical integration of complex systems based on processors, fast memory (DDR, Flash), and peripherals (e.g. embedded computers/calculators, sensors, video processing…).

Advanced schematic and routing design : Design and develop electronic schematics, and perform board placement/routing to meet design specifications, managing fast signal constraints. Physical integration : Collaborate with the Mechanical Department to ensure the seamless physical integration of the boards into the final product. Sensor integration : Work closely with the GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) Department to ensure accurate and effective sensor integration.

Electromagnetic compatibility : Address and resolve EMC challenges while ensuring signal integrity. Troubleshooting : Identify and resolve issues in electrical and electronic boards through effective troubleshooting. Testing and Validation : Conduct testing, integration, and performance validation of electronic boards to meet operational and design requirements. Candidate Requirements Educational Background : Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

Technical Expertise : Demonstrated experience of 5 years minimum in complex electronic system design. In-depth knowledge of processors , memory domains (DDR, Flash), and electronic CAD tools (e.g., Altium). Testing Proficiency : Proficiency in using electronic test equipment. Additional Skills : Experience with Robotics or Aerospace systems is a strong advantage. Problem-Solving : Ability to work autonomously and solve complex technical challenges. Communication & Influ
