Embedded Electrical Engineer - SoM

About the role

As an Embedded Electrical Engineer at Harmattan AI, you will join the R&D team to design compute modules and associated boards for autonomous defense platforms. You will own the hardware development lifecycle end-to-end, from system architecture and schematic design through to fabrication, bring-up, and qualification. This role requires a combination of high-speed digital design expertise and hands-on bench work to deliver mission-critical systems.

Responsibilities

• Design SoMs, baseboards, and test boards for compute platforms.
• Design around high-end application processors including PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, and MIPI while managing signal integrity.
• Design power trees, sequencing, and conversion topologies with verified power-up and power-down behavior.
• Prepare and lead design reviews at each milestone from block diagram to fabrication release.
• Collaborate with PCB and EMS partners on stack-up, via technology, and cost trade-offs.
• Define verification test plans and perform thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
• Work cross-functionally with embedded software and mechanical teams to ensure system integration.
