About Us
Harmattan AI is a pioneering defense technology company committed to developing autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following our successful $200M Series B funding round, which brought our valuation to an impressive $1.4 billion, we are on a mission to expand our teams and enhance our capabilities to deliver critical systems for allied forces.
Our operations are centered around a set of core values: creating impactful technologies, pursuing excellence in all endeavors, setting ambitious objectives, and tackling complex technical challenges. We thrive in a high-pressure environment where accountability, precision, and execution are paramount.
About the Role
As Harmattan's propulsion requirements grow, we are looking to expand our team to expedite the development of essential hardware and software tools. You will become part of a high-impact duo dedicated to constructing advanced motor test benches and the software framework necessary for visualizing and disseminating results across our organization. This hands-on role effectively merges Python software development with practical hardware testing.
Responsibilities
System Development: Design and maintain hardware motor test benches to evaluate motor, propeller, and controller performance.
Software Engineering: Create and refine internal Python-based tools for propulsion testbench operations and data visualization.
Data Analysis: Develop scripts to compute motor thrust requirements and manage extensive datasets to analyze performance across various hardware configurations.
Testing & Reporting: Conduct motor tests, upload findings to our cloud platform, and generate technical reports for internal stakeholders and manufacturers.
Collaborative Design: Engage in design meetings for new platforms (e.g., fixed-wing observers), offering expertise on propulsion solutions to fulfill range and autonomy specifications.
Tool Democratization: Ensure our internal visualization tools are robust and accessible to the broader Harmattan team.
Candidate Requirements
Educational Background: Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Mechatronics, Programming, or a related field; exceptional self-taught individuals with impressive portfolios will also be considered.
Technical Proficiency: Proficient in Python, with experience in software engineering and hardware testing.
