Embedded Electrical Engineer

About the role

As an Embedded Electrical Engineer at Harmattan AI, you will join the R&D team to design the compute modules and associated boards used across our platforms. You will own these designs end-to-end, from system architecture and schematic through layout guidance, fabrication, bring-up, and qualification. This role combines high-speed design work with hands-on bench work to take hardware from prototype to production.

Responsibilities

• Design SoMs, baseboards, and test boards for our compute platforms.
• Design around high-end application processors, covering PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, and MIPI, managing layout constraints and signal integrity.
• Design power trees, sequencing, and conversion topologies, and verify power-up and power-down behaviour.
• Prepare and lead design reviews at each milestone, from block diagram to release for fabrication.
• Work with PCB and EMS partners on stack-up, via technology, layout guidance, and cost trade-offs.
• Define verification test plans, troubleshoot and characterise boards, and run thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
• Work with the embedded software team through board bring-up, the mechanical team on form factor and thermal constraints, and validation for flight qualification.
