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

We are looking for Software Engineers, for one or several of these missions:

Missions

• Embedded:

• Develop low-level drivers for the sensors or actuators of our robots

• Develop the OS and middleware of the robots

• Integrate embedded algorithms (Guidance, Navigation, Control, Computer Vision, …)

• Optimise runtime of heavy algorithms on various hardware accelerators (GPU, TPU, DSp, …)

• Command and Control platform:

• Develop the backbone of a command and control system for massive data ingestion and processing

• Develop a web-based front-end to display representations of the theatre of operations, and allow the operator to conduct missions

• Tooling:

• Build internal tools to improve efficiency, enforce processes and reduce technical debt

• Develop connectors between existing tools across the company (ERP, MES, PLM, …)

• Deployment & Integration: Implement code into production-ready environments. Ensure seamless integration with Harmattan AI’s systems and conduct rigorous code reviews.

• Validation & Monitoring: Test algorithms in real-world environments and develop monitoring tools. Track model performance and continuously improve deployed solutions.

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with other hardware and software to align development with system requirements. Communicate findings effectively to stakeholders.

Candidate Requirements

• Educational Background: Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field, PhD is a plus
• Technical Expertise: Strong coding and code architecture skills (Python, C/C++, Rust, CUDA), excellent mathematical foundations, hands-on ML/CV project experience. Experience in big tech companies is a huge plus.
• Passion for Software Development
• Strong Communication & Teamwork: Ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams
• Commitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.

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