Job Description

About Us

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

We’re assembling a new R&D team to develop a wireless link between drones and base stations. As the FPGA Engineer , you will own the design and implementation of the signal processing pipeline on FPGA. You’ll work closely with a hardware engineer and an embedded software engineer to deliver a robust, high-performance system.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement FPGA-based DSP blocks (FFT, FIR, resamplers, decimators).
  • Develop and optimize modem algorithms (BPSK, QPSK, QAM, FSK, OFDM, channel estimation, equalization).
  • Integrate FEC and interleaving pipelines (LDPC, Turbo) ensuring low-latency performance.
  • Implement digital front-end processing (DUC/DDC, frequency translation, AGC control).
  • Interface with RF transceivers ensuring deterministic latency and synchronization.
  • Develop test benches for reliable DSP and RF chain validation.
  • Work hand-in-hand with RF hardware and embedded software teams to guarantee seamless system integration.
  • Drive the complete FPGA lifecycle from prototyping to production with focus on robustness.
  • Select and qualify target FPGA devices aligned with RF system requirements.

Candidate Requirements

  • Educational Background: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 2–5 years of experience in FPGA development (VHDL, Verilog)
  • Solid understanding of digital signal processing (DSP) concepts
  • Experience in developing and validating FPGA systems
  • Degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field
  • 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.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
