Embedded Electrical Engineer - SoM

Paris. Posted a month ago

The role

You will join the R&D team to design compute modules and associated boards. You will own designs from system architecture and schematic through layout guidance, fabrication, bring-up, and qualification.

What you will do

Design SoMs, baseboards, and test boards for compute platforms.
Design around high-end application processors, covering PCIe, 10 Gb Ethernet, USB 3.x, and MIPI.
Design power trees, sequencing, and conversion topologies.
Prepare and lead design reviews at each milestone.
Work with PCB and EMS partners on stack-up, via technology, layout guidance, and cost trade-offs.
Define verification test plans, troubleshoot and characterise boards.
Run thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
Work with the embedded software team through board bring-up.
Work with the mechanical team on form factor and thermal constraints.
Work with validation for flight qualification.

Required qualifications

MSc in electrical, computer, or a related engineering field.
5 years minimum in embedded hardware design, with boards taken from specification through bring-up and qualification into production.
High-speed design including layout constraints, signal integrity, and validation.
Systems built around a processor with external memory (DDR, Flash) carried through to a committed layout.
Power trees with deliberate conversion topologies and verified power-up and power-down behaviour.
In-depth knowledge of electronic CAD tools (e.g., Altium).
Proficiency with electronic test equipment.
Experience planning thermal, vibration, EMC, and ESD qualification.
Experience working with fabrication and assembly partners on stack-up, via technology, and cost trade-offs.
Rigorous, structured, and analytical.
Excellent written and verbal communication.
100% dedication to Harmattan AI's mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans.

Nice to have

PhD
FPGA or MPSoC design
Prior work deploying AI inference on embedded targets
UAS, drone, or defence hardware experience
