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.
The Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented Mechanical Design Engineer to join our engineering team in Lausanne. In this role, you will lead the physical product design of hardware assemblies, mechanical housings, custom structures, and precision mechanisms, guiding products through CAD design, drafting, prototype verification, and industrialisation.
From day one, you will own the transition of concepts into production-ready physical hardware. You will maintain strict product data management standards, apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, run thermal and stress analyses, work with suppliers across various manufacturing processes, and perform hands-on prototype assembly and testing.
