Physics Simulation Engineer

Job description

About Us 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. About the Role: As a Physics Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for the simulation and analysis of mechanical behaviors in our drone systems, with a focus on vibration and thermal performance. You will set up and validate advanced physics-based models to support robust and efficient drone design. Responsibilities: Structural & Modal Analysis: Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate the dynamic behaviour and vibration modes of our systems. Vibration Mitigation: Design and simulate passive and active damping solutions to isolate sensitive optical payloads from motor and aerodynamic vibrations. Multi-Physic...
