Software Engineer (R&D Hardware Tooling)

En tant qu'ingénieur logiciel au sein de l'équipe R&D Hardware Tooling chez Harmattan AI, vous serez responsable de la conception et du développement d'outils internes pour les laboratoires et les flux de travail d'ingénierie. Ces outils permettent aux équipes produit de concevoir, valider et caractériser du matériel plus rapidement. Vous posséderez les couches logicielles et embarquées de ces outils de bout en bout, avec une opportunité d'évolution vers un rôle de Team Lead.

Responsibilities

• Tooling Software Architecture: Design reusable, modular automation and analysis frameworks (typically Python-based) utilized across all product programs.
• Instrument & Fixture Control: Integrate bench instruments and custom fixtures using SCPI/VISA, serial, USB, GPIB, and Ethernet, abstracting device drivers for team-wide reuse.
• Embedded Fixture Firmware: Write and maintain robust firmware (bare-metal and/or RTOS) for MCU-based development and validation fixtures handling I/O, signal generation, and measurement.
• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL): Build HIL and development rigs, integrating them seamlessly into CI pipelines for automated firmware regression tracking.
• Data Acquisition & Analysis: Capture, store, and surface critical measurement data via databases, dashboards, and analysis scripts to enable data-driven design decisions.
• Bring-up & Debug Support: Build specialized bring-up scripts and debug utilities to support product engineering teams directly at the bench.
• Protocol Implementation: Implement and debug hardware communication interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, and RF/link interfaces.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner daily with tooling hardware and mechanical engineers to define fixture interfaces and support rig bring-up, while translating product team needs into reliable tooling.
• Documentation: Maintain comprehensive architecture documents, validation procedures, and usage guides.

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, or an equivalent technical field.
• Proven Test & Automation Experience: Demonstrated success building bench automation, HIL/development rigs, or characterization tooling for real physical hardware.
• Software & Automation Skills: Strong proficiency in Python automation (using pytest or equivalent frameworks) and instrument control via SCPI/VISA.
• Embedded Firmware: Confident writing embedded C/C++ on microcontrollers (typically ARM Cortex-M), spanning both bare-metal environments and RTOS architectures (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr).
• Hardware Debugging: Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up and bench debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD interfaces.
• Protocols & Infrastructure: Solid understanding of communication buses (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN) alongside version control and CI pipelines.
• Rigorous & Systems-Minded: Possesses a disciplined approach to measurement integrity, clean code, and understanding both the firmware under development and the instruments measuring it.
• Autonomous & Pragmatic: Capable of independently driving software architecture decisions while balancing robustness with rapid project execution.
• Adaptability & Execution: Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, bringing a "no-task-is-too-small" mentality to a lean engineering team.
• Strong Communication & Collaboration: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to work seamlessly across hardware, mechanical, and product software domains without friction.

Nice to have

• Experience within drone/UAV development, RF/radio systems, or telecommunications hardware.
• Prior experience deploying CI-integrated HIL testing systems.
• Experience working in ruggedized, military, or industrial-grade hardware environments.
