Embedded Electrical Engineer - SoM

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.

• 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.
