The role

As an Embedded Software Engineer at Harmattan AI, you will join the R&D team to own the embedded software stack on the compute modules used across our platforms. You will take a new module from bare board to a maintained, securely booting Linux platform, covering the boot chain, kernel, drivers, and the verification around them. This is a high impact role that combines deep Linux and kernel work with hands on bring up on new hardware, taking a board from first power up through to flight.

What you need

Educational Background: MSc in engineering (electrical, computer, or a related field). PhD a plus. A hands on bring up record matters more than the specific degree.
Experience: 5 years minimum in embedded software, with BSPs owned through their lifecycle and kept reproducible as the hardware evolved.
Build Systems: Strong command of an embedded Linux build system such as Yocto or OpenEmbedded, across custom layers or packages, BSP integration, image build, and SDK generation. Experience with in house or non standard build systems is an advantage.
Technical Expertise: Kernel space driver development on ARM targets, validated against real peripherals across I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, PCIe, and MIPI. Device tree work on new boards and hardware revisions. Board bring up from first power up to a booting Linux image.
Boot and Update: Bootloader porting, kernel configuration, signed boot, and firmware update mechanisms on production hardware, with security conscious and deterministic engineering practice throughout.
Programming: Strong C and C++, including kernel space coding, and strong Python scripting skills, with solid version control practice (Git).
Debugging Expertise: Able to isolate whether a fault sits in the driver, the kernel configuration, or the board, using GDB, JTAG, OpenOCD, kernel tracing, ftrace, and perf.
Professional Attributes: Rigorous, structured, and systematic, able to work autonomously, unfazed by a board that will not boot. Excellent communication and documentation skills, able to present platform and test results to engineers and senior stakeholders.
Additional Skills: Bare metal or RTOS firmware on microcontroller targets, experience enabling hardware accelerators on embedded SoCs including VPU and NPU drivers and runtimes, familiarity with the perception or control workloads that run on the module, and UAS, drone, or defense 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.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
