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 design process end-to-end, from system architecture and schematic through to layout, fabrication, bring-up, and qualification. This role requires a combination of high-speed design expertise and hands-on bench work to take hardware from prototype to production.

Responsibilities

• Design SoMs, baseboards, and test boards for compute platforms.
• Design around high-end application processors, managing PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, and MIPI 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.
• Collaborate with embedded software, mechanical, and validation teams on board bring-up and flight qualification.
