Software Engineer - Gimbal
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
We are seeking an Software Engineer (4\+ years of experience) to join our multidisciplinary, high\-caliber Gimbal team in Paris. In this role, you will take ownership of gimbal control and GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) software running on custom hardware platforms and embedded Linux/microcontrollers. Working closely with Software, GNC, Mechanical, Hardware, and Test Bench/Industrialization teams, you will drive critical developments from initial concept to full realization, spending time both at the desk/lab and conducting field test evaluations every few weeks.
Responsibilities
--------------------
- Software \& Firmware Development: Design, build, and optimize embedded software running on custom microcontrollers (MCU) and embedded Linux platforms where real\-time execution is critical.
- Gimbal \& GNC Ownership: Take full ownership of gimbal control algorithms, master the GNC software framework, and lead ongoing initiatives for next\-generation multi\-axis systems and new sensor integrations.
- Diagnostics \& Performance Tooling: Develop PC software tools and diagnostic utilities to analyze telemetry logs, system friction, calibration, and motor/IMU communication.
- Testing \& Field Operations: Lead flight test preparations, participate in lab experiments (oscilloscopes, prototype boards), and perform post\-flight telemetry analysis to validate system performance.
- System Architecture \& Rigor: Define and implement rigorous protocols and software architecture to ensure peak system integrity, performance, and seamless collaboration across engineering disciplines.
- Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members as senior initiatives expand.
- Educational Background: Strong academic foundation or proven, verifiable track record of delivering complex software for robotic/embedded systems.
- Technical Expertise:
- Solid experience in embedded software development (C/C\+\+, MCU, embedded Linux) where real\-time constraints and low\-level debugging matter.
- Strong grasp of core robotics concepts, linear algebra, and mathematics (e.g., quaternions, matrices, attitude, pose, reference/setpoint, estimation).
- Familiarity with GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) frameworks and robotic architectures (such as autopilots for drones, rovers, or autonomous vehicles).
- Proven Accomplishments \& Attributes:
- Demonstrated ability to navigate, understand, and enhance large\-scale robotic codebases.
- Methodical, rigorous, and investigative approach to diagnostic resolution (calibration, friction, telemetry analysis).
- Adaptability \& Mobility: Thrives under pressure in a fast\-paced environment; comfortable balancing desk coding with hands\-on lab and field test activities.
- Communication \& Collaboration: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; capable of working effectively across cross\-functional engineering teams (Hardware, Mechanics, GNC).
- Commitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI's mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.
