Embedded Software Engineer - GCS
📌Paris, France 🇫🇷
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ mid-level
At Harmattan AI, we are a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Driven by rigorous engineering developments of new defense products based on recent robotics and AI developments, we are on a steep growth trajectory. If you are interested in a career in a highly technical environment, thrive on pushing boundaries, and want to achieve ambitious goals, we would love to hear from you.
About The Role
As an Embedded Software Engineer on Harmattan AI’s GCS (Ground Control System) module, you’ll develop the firmware and low-level software that powers our next-generation handheld UAV controllers. This includes real-time handling of inputs (joysticks, buttons, touchscreens), communication with the UAV, power management, and overall system responsiveness. Your code will bring to life a reliable, intuitive, and mission-ready operator experience.
Responsibilities
- Develop embedded firmware for custom handheld ground stations, integrating displays, input devices, wireless modules, and battery systems.
- Implement the interface with the radio link.
- Optimize system performance for responsiveness, power efficiency, and thermal constraints.
- Collaborate closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
- Conduct field validation and debugging under realistic mission scenarios.
- Write clean, maintainable, and production-ready code with a focus on long-term system stability.
-
Participate in architectural decisions to scale the firmware platform as the GCS product line evolves.
- Education: Master’s in Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
- Strong experience in embedded C/C++ and real-time firmware development.
- Proficient with CPU, MCU, (experience with ARM is a strong plus), hardware abstraction layers, and protocols like SPI, I2C, UART.
- Experience with embedded Linux
- Familiarity with wireless comms integration (e.g., LoRa, Wi-Fi, LTE, custom RF) is a plus.
- Bonus: Experience building handheld or ruggedized control systems in defense, aerospace, or robotics.
- 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.
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
