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 a Software Engineer - Validation, you will build the "machine that tests the machine." You sit at the intersection of Hardware, Software, and DevOps. Your mission is to develop the hardware benches and software pipelines that allow the validation team to scale from testing 1 drone to 100 drones efficiently.
Responsibilities
Automation: Develop Python scripts and tools to automate log analysis, telemetry parsing, and report generation.
CI/CD Integration: Work with the software team to integrate physical hardware tests into the continuous integration pipeline.
HIL Development: Design and build Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test benches to simulate flight conditions in the lab.
Bonus: Design mechanical fixtures and jigs (CAD) to assist in repeatable physical testing.
Candidate Requirements
Background in Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, or Mechatronics.
Strong proficiency in Python (C++ is a plus).
Experience building test benches, HIL systems, or automated test equipment (ATE).
Familiarity with DevOps tools (Docker, Jenkins, Git) and Linux environments.
Bonus: A background in robotic or drones is a plus.
Bonus: Mechanical design skills (CAD) for building custom test rigs.
We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
