About Us
At Harmattan AI, we are pioneering the future of defense through the development of autonomous and scalable defense systems. With the successful completion of a $200M Series B funding round, our company is now valued at $1.4 billion and is actively expanding to enhance our capabilities in delivering mission-critical systems to allied forces.
Our operations are founded on core values: creating technologies that have a tangible impact, striving for excellence, setting high goals, and tackling challenging technical problems head-on. We thrive in a demanding environment that values rigor, accountability, and meticulous execution.
About the Role
As our Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the complete architecture of our Command and Control (C2) and autonomous mission systems. Your role will ensure that the integration of hardware, software, AI/ML, and operator workflows results in a cohesive and deployable platform. We are seeking an innovative technical systems thinker with hands-on experience in building and delivering real products that effectively manage complex subsystems.
Your key responsibility will be to guarantee that our platform operates reliably in real-world conditions, overseeing everything from architectural definition to integration, validation, and deployment.
