Electrical Engineer - GCS

As an Electrical Engineer in Harmattan AI's new GCS (Ground Control System) module, you will lead the design, prototyping, and integration of the electronics that power our custom-built remote controllers for UAVs. You'll play a critical role in shaping the architecture of a rugged, high-performance, mission-ready system.

Responsibilities

• Design and prototype PCBs for handheld control stations, ensuring high reliability, low latency, and efficient power management.
• Integrate a wide range of components (displays, joysticks, communication modules, antennas, batteries) into a robust and compact design.
• Define system-level electrical architecture including wiring, interconnects, and shielding for electromagnetic compatibility.
• Collaborate with mechanical and embedded software engineers to ensure seamless integration across the hardware stack.
• Select and manage suppliers for key electrical components and oversee board fabrication and assembly.
• Conduct extensive testing, including thermal, EMI/EMC, and field validation, ensuring operational performance in harsh environments.
• Document designs and iterate quickly from prototyping to production-ready systems.

Requirements

• Educational Background: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Proven experience in designing embedded systems, ideally for handheld or ruggedized equipment.
• Strong PCB design experience (Altium or equivalent), including high-speed digital and analog circuits.
• Knowledge of RF integration, EMI shielding, and power systems (batteries, charging, power regulation).
• 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.

Nice to have

• Bonus: Experience working with military or mission-critical communication systems.
