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 Field Deployment Lead, you are the senior technical authority on-site for the deployment of our advanced technology systems.

You own end-to-end system functionality across hardware and software, lead a team of deployment engineers, and serve as the

primary expert operator and trainer — driving customer teams to full operational autonomy. This role combines deep technical

ownership with field leadership and a direct customer-facing responsibility in high-stakes environments.

Responsibilities

Deployment Leadership: Lead on-site deployment of technical systems — including core hardware units, ground infrastructure, and

control software — from site survey through customer acceptance.

Technical Authority: Own end-to-end system functionality in the field across hardware and software layers; serve as the senior

escalation point for technical issues.

Team Management: Guide and coordinate a team of Field Deployment Engineers; ensure execution quality, task allocation, and team

development on-site.

Commissioning & Acceptance: Oversee system configuration, testing, and validation; own the acceptance process through to

customer sign-off.

Operator Training: Deliver expert-level training to customer teams on system operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting —

driving autonomy and operational readiness.

Troubleshooting & Escalation: Diagnose and resolve complex hardware, software, and integration issues in the field; escalate

unresolved blockers with structured documentation.

Cross-functional Coordination: Act as the primary field interface with engineering, programme, and product teams; relay field

findings to support iteration and improvement.

Documentation: Produce rigorous deployment, acceptance, and training documentation; maintain structured records of site

configurations, issues, and resolutions.

Candidate Requirements

5+ years of experience in field deployment, systems integration, or technical commissioning on enterprise-grade or complex

electronics systems.

Demonstrated experience leading a team of engineers in field or operational environments.

Hands-on experience with hardware/software integration in operational environments — experience with complex integrated sensing

or control systems is a strong plus.

Strong systems-level understanding: ability to troubleshoot and own resolution across hardware, software, and connectivity

layers.

Proven ability to train and bring customer teams — including technical end-users — to operational autonomy on complex systems.

High degree of field autonomy and composure in high-stakes, time-sensitive environments.

Detail-oriented with strong documentation and organisational skills.

Comfortable with a dynamic schedule requiring frequent international presence.

Fluency in English required; French and Arabic is a plus.

We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.
