AI-driven autonomous systems for defense operations and drone warfare
Harmattan AI is a Paris-based defense company founded in 2024, building autonomous drone systems and real-time mission software for military operations. The tech stack is hardware-heavy—Embedded Linux, C/C++, FPGA design (VHDL/Verilog), PX4/Ardupilot flight stacks, and radar signal processing (DSP, OFDM)—paired with Python and Qt for mission systems. Engineering dominates hiring (62 roles), with a mix of mid-level and senior hardware/firmware talent, signaling rapid scale-up in concurrent drone platforms and flight test campaigns.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer
Harmattan AI develops autonomous drone systems and conflict-ready mission management software for defense organizations. The company operates across the full stack: airframe design and production (Gazebo, SolidWorks, Onshape for CAD), embedded flight control and guidance algorithms (PX4, Ardupilot, GNC development), electronic board design for UAVs, and real-time telemetry and mission command systems. Active projects span robotic system industrialization, mass production ramp, flight test campaigns, and process standardization—indicating a transition from prototype to field-deployable systems. Hiring is distributed across France, Switzerland, Poland, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the UAE.
