Systems Engineer: our view in 3 lines...
- The Role:An experienced systems engineer will define and deliver robotic system architectures and lead multidisciplinary teams from concept through field deployment in the defense and robotics sector.
- The Person:Own system architecture and definition, coordinate cross-functional teams, perform trade-off analyses and system-level simulations, and oversee integration, prototyping, validation, and design reviews to ensure performance and reliability.
- Requirements:10+ years of system engineering experience, MSc in Engineering (PhD a plus), system architecture, requirements engineering, trade-off analysis, experience with mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems, and experience leading full system lifecycles.
About the role
About Us
Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.
Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.
About the Role
As a System Engineer, you will own the architecture, system definition and implementation of one of our robotic systems — from concept to field deployment. You will work hand-in-hand with project managers and technical leads to translate mission needs into system-level designs, coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, and ensure overall system performance, robustness, and reliability.
Responsibilities
-
System Architecture: Transform system requirements into architectures solutions.
-
Technical Coordination: Lead cross-functional design across mechanical, electrical, software, GNC, and ML teams.
-
Trade-Off & Design Analysis: Conduct feasibility studies, trade-off analyses, and system-level simulations to guide technical choices.
-
Integration & Validation: Oversee system integration, prototyping, and validation, ensuring performance targets are achieved.
-
System Reviews: Drive design and architecture reviews, maintaining consistency between requirements, design, and testing.
-
Continuous Improvement: Implement processes to enhance requirements traceability, system documentation, and validation workflows.
Candidate Requirements
-
10+ years of experience in system engineering within robotics, aerospace, or defense sectors.
-
MSc in Engineering (any field); PhD is a plus.
-
Proven experience leading full system lifecycles (concept → prototype → validation).
-
Strong background in system architecture, requirements engineering, and trade-off analysis.
-
Broad engineering culture with understanding of mechanical, electrical, and embedded systems.
-
Experience coordinating multi-disciplinary teams and managing technical interfaces.
-
Rigorous, structured, and mission-driven mindset with strong analytical skills.
-
Excellent communication and documentation abilities.
-
Bonus: Experience with UAS or defense systems.
We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
