About Us

At Harmattan AI, we are a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Driven by rigorous engineering developments of new defense products based on recent robotics and AI developments, we are on a steep growth trajectory. If you are interested in a career in a highly technical environment, thrive on pushing boundaries, and want to achieve ambitious goals, we would love to hear from you.

About the Role

You’ll lead a strategic initiative to develop a robust, production-ready wireless link module enabling secure, high-bandwidth bi-directional communication between drones and base stations. As Technical Team Lead, you’ll own the system architecture, steer cross-functional execution, and guide a team of embedded, hardware, and FPGA engineers toward major technical milestones. This is a deeply hands-on role that combines systems engineering expertise with team leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the high-level system architecture of the wireless link module, ensuring sound technical trade-offs across hardware and software domains

  • Translate architectural decisions into actionable workstreams and manage their execution across embedded, hardware, and FPGA contributors

  • Monitor project health, anticipate technical bottlenecks, and make fast, pragmatic decisions to maintain momentum

  • Mentor and support team members by sharing your deep domain knowledge in RF, embedded systems, and systems integration

  • Act as the technical point of contact for internal stakeholders, ensuring alignment and visibility.

  • Oversee day-to-day team management, including setting goals, tracking progress, and fostering a high-performance engineering culture

Candidate Requirements

  • Education:  Engineering school graduate or Master’s/Ph.D. in Wireless Systems, Signal Processing, Applied Physics, or Applied Mathematics

  • Experience: 5–10 years of hands-on development in RF communication systems (either HW or SW), ideally followed by or including systems architecture or project ownership roles

  • Systems Engineering: Proven ability to bridge high-level system thinking with technical detail across RF, firmware, and hardware layers

  • Leadership: Experience leading or coordinating technical teams, with the confidence to push for excellence and the humility to collaborate

  • Problem-Solving: Ability to work autonomously and solve complex technical challenges.

  • Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication, capable of leading diverse principals – from junior members to senior executives.

  • 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.
