About the role

Harmattan AI is developing hardware for the Ground Control System (GCS) including rugged drone controllers and long-range RF systems. The role focuses on end-to-end electronics design for mixed-signal and RF PCBs, with a path to production in a constrained environment.

Responsibilities

  • Schematic Design - Design complete schematics for mixed-signal and RF boards, from power to digital and RF sections.
  • PCB Layout & Routing - Perform or lead board placement and routing with attention to signal integrity, EMC, and RF constraints (6-8 layer layout, controlled impedance, ground planes, and RF traces).
  • Component Selection & BOM Optimisation – Select components with cost, availability, and reliability in mind; drive BOM cost reduction for mass production volumes.
  • Hardware Bring-up & Debug - Lead board bring-up and debug issues with oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, and other bench equipment; write bring-up scripts when needed.
  • EMC & RF Compliance - Address EMC challenges; ensure signal integrity across the board and correct RF performance (antenna impedance matching and power levels).
  • Collaboration with Embedded SW - Work closely with the embedded software engineer to define hardware/software interfaces; support firmware bring-up.
  • Collaboration with Mechanical - Ensure seamless PCB integration into mechanical enclosures (connectors, mounting, thermal, shielding).
  • Supplier & Manufacturing Ramp-up - Qualify PCB manufacturers and assembly houses; support DFM/DFA review for production; manage NPI transitions.
  • Documentation - Maintain schematics, layout files, test procedures, and hardware specifications.

Qualifications

  • Senior hardware engineer with experience designing and shipping complex PCBs, ideally mixing digital and power, into production.
  • Rigorous approach to schematics, layout, and bring-up; strong cost and manufacturability instincts.
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a small team and bridging hardware and firmware.
