As a Software Test & Validation Engineer, you build the systems that let us trust our drones' software before it ever flies a mission. You design the automated tests and pipelines that put our flight software through its paces, from pure simulation (SITL) to hardware-in-the-loop (HITL), and turn the results into clear signal for the engineering teams. Our validation team is scaling fast, from testing a handful of drones to testing them by the hundred, and you are how that scale becomes possible. Your main instrument is the SITL/HITL simulation environment built by our tooling team. A big part of the job is to use it to its full potential and to help improve it continuously: it's recent and not yet fully representative of reality, so your feedback and contributions are what will make it a trustworthy test bench. On top of that, new systems to validate arrive on a regular basis, so you'll repeatedly stand up test coverage for platforms you're seeing for the first time. This is a broad role, and we're deliberately hiring for a range of profiles rather than a single narrow one. We're looking for engineers with scope beyond pure software, system-level thinking, a feel for architecture, a statistical approach to noisy data, and some physical intuition. Depending on your strengths, you might focus on test-scenario design and coverage, on the automation and CI pipeline that runs tests on every build, on capturing and replaying flight telemetry, or on deepening the simulation itself. Tell us in your application where you fit best.
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.
