Flight Control & Dynamics Engineer

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.

Harmattan AI is pushing the boundaries of high-speed autonomous flight, where control has to hold up at the edge of the envelope. Getting that right across a family of airframes is one of the most demanding parts of the flight software.

As a Flight Control & Dynamics Engineer, working out of Lausanne, Paris, or Zurich, you will own control law design and the system identification that feeds it, setting the control standard as the team grows. You will weigh classical against learning-based methods, from tuned control laws to reinforcement-learning policies trained in simulation and flown on hardware, and decide what actually flies.
