Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will design, assemble, and commission robotics and automation cells on a modular assembly line while managing supplier relationships and project budgets. Additionally, you will monitor cell performance and drive continuous improvement initiatives to ensure operational efficiency during production ramp-up.
Candidates must hold a degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, or Automation Engineering with 0-3 years of experience. Proficiency in industrial robotics, PLC programming, and the ability to manage technical supplier relationships are essential.
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.
As an Automation & Robotics Project Engineer within Harmattan AI's Automation & Industrialisation team, you will work alongside a Senior Automation & Robotics Engineer to design and commission robotics and automation cells hands-on, on a modular mixed-model assembly line built to run multiple quadcopter platforms on shared infrastructure.
You will own the full integrator relationship — defining requirements, managing suppliers technically and commercially, and controlling cost, quality, and delivery. Operating in a live ramp-up environment, you will make real industrial decisions on where and when automation creates value — directly strengthening Harmattan AI's capacity to manufacture autonomous systems at speed and scale.
Design, assemble, and commission automation and robotics cells hands-on, directly within the shopfloor environment.
Integrate robotic systems, sensors, and actuators into modular stations compatible with a mixed-model assembly line.
Validate and deploy industrial equipment in collaboration with production teams to ensure operational readiness.
Execute rapid iterations on automation cells to keep pace with evolving products and processes during the production ramp-up.
Conduct technical and commercial assessments to justify automation investments and create value before implementation.
Define technical requirements and functional specifications for automation integrators.
Manage integrators end-to-end — from RFQ and design reviews through FAT/SAT and go-live.
Own cost tracking, budget control, and lead time management on automation projects.
Challenge supplier proposals technically and commercially — hold them to quality, cost, and delivery.
Monitor cell performance post-deployment and drive OEE improvements across the shared line.
Identify root causes of faults and implement corrective actions — on the floor or with suppliers.
Ensure automation cells remain compatible with mixed-model production as the product portfolio grows.
Feed lessons learned into future specifications and cell designs.
Degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or equivalent.
At least 2 years of experience
Practical hands-on experience with industrial and collaborative robots including brands such as Universal Robots, Doosan, FANUC, or KUKA.
Working knowledge of PLCs — notably Siemens TIA Portal/S7 — and associated automation architectures.
Familiarity with sensors, actuators, motion systems, and cell-level safety standards.
Ability to write clear technical specifications and functional requirements.
Comfortable managing suppliers and integrators — technically, commercially, and on schedule.
Thrives in fast-moving, iterative environments with incomplete information and evolving processes.
Rigorous, structured, and able to prioritize under ramp-up pressure.
Good communication in French and English — able to interact clearly with operators and engineers
Hands-on mindset; at ease on the shopfloor, not just behind a screen
Familiarity with vision systems, force/torque sensing, or automated quality inspection.
Understanding of OEE metrics and lean manufacturing principles.
Exposure to Industry 4.0 tools — digital twins, IoT, or predictive maintenance concepts.
Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where processes are still being built
Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication in French and English, 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.
Building Autonomous Forces. Coordinated Saturation at the Edge.
Harmattan AI is redefining how forces are built and deployed, shaping a future where autonomous robots fight as one across the full spectrum of operations. Autonomy multiplies both mass and capability, unlocking a new scale of force. Coordinated saturation is the doctrine of modern warfare, and advantage shifts from the platform to the autonomous force.
