Embedded Software Engineer

Harmattan AI is a next‑generation defense prime that builds autonomous, scalable defense systems for allied forces. After closing a $200 million Series B round that valued the company at $1.4 billion, the firm is expanding its teams to deliver mission‑critical UAV solutions while upholding values of real‑world impact, technical excellence, ambitious goals and tackling the hardest challenges. As an Embedded Software Engineer you will work on cutting‑edge UAV platforms. Your daily tasks involve configuring and maintaining the operating system, whether Embedded Linux or an RTOS, contributing to the evolution of the embedded software architecture, and creating sensor drivers that feed online algorithms. You will also improve telemetry subsystems, enforce strong coding standards, help build in‑house development tools, and cooperate with multidisciplinary groups to ship robust, high‑performance systems ready for field deployment. The role requires a university degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a closely related discipline, together with extensive experience in embedded software development for robotics, aerospace or similar domains. You must be highly proficient in C/C++, have a proven track record with Embedded Linux or RTOS environments, and be comfortable developing and integrating drivers for a variety of sensors. Hands‑on expertise with debugging equipment such as software debuggers, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers is essential, as is familiarity with build systems and version‑control tools. Clear written and verbal communication, the ability to work autonomously on complex problems, and a 100 % commitment to Harmattan AI's mission are also required. A plus is experience with Python programming, which can accelerate algorithm integration and testing. The team operates in a demanding environment that expects rigor, ownership and flawless execution. While the posting does not specify a location, the culture emphasizes rapid growth, technical depth and the opportunity to shape the future of autonomous defense systems. What the role asks for: - Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or related field - Extensive experience in embedded software development (robotics/aerospace) - Strong proficiency in C/C++ - Proven work with Embedded Linux or RTOS - Experience developing and integrating sensor drivers - Hands‑on use of debugging tools (debuggers, oscilloscopes, analyzers) - Excellent written and verbal communication skills - Python programming experience (nice‑to‑have)
