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.\nOur 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.\nAbout the Role\nWithin the Engineering Quality team, you will own industrial vision inspection across our production lines, from roadmap and qualification to integration on automated and manual stations. As production ramps up, you will turn today's manual controls into robust inline inspections, working hand in hand with the Industrialization & Automation, Quality and Production teams. With hardware already on site, this is a greenfield role: you will write the standard rather than inherit one, and see your programs running on a defense production line within weeks. This is a full time position based in Orly, with opportunities to grow within the organization.\nResponsibilities\nBuild and own the industrial vision roadmap across our production lines, and defend the associated investments.\n\nAudit existing cameras and programs, then establish a measured baseline of escape and false reject rates.\n\nDevelop and deploy vision programs on real parts, tuning optics, lighting, thresholds and Edge Learning tools.\n\nIntegrate vision on automated stations with the automation team, including triggering, PLC/IO handshake and robot guidance.\n\nDeploy standalone camera programs on manual stations, along with the scripting and small tooling around them.\n\nDefine and run the qualification framework (IQ/OQ/PQ) and trace every inspection into the control plan.\n\nMaintain a versioned and backed up program library, with clear documentation for every deployed inspection.\n\nReview rejected images daily with production, separating real defects from false rejects and unblocking stations.\n\nPartner with R&D on design for inspectability, and with Manufacturing Systems Engineering and IT on data and network handling.\n\nCandidate Requirements\nEducational Background: Engineering degree or equivalent, with a strong academic record.\n\nVision Experience: 2+ years of practical industrial vision experience in a production environment, such as automotive, electronics, aerospace, medtech or a vision integrator.\n\nTechnical Skills: Proficiency with at least one industrial vision platform or library, scripting skills and enough automation exposure to work with a PLC or a robot.\n\nValidation Rigor: Manages false rejects and escapes with data, knows that optics and lighting drive the result, and is curious about assembly (PCBA, solder joints, connectors).\n\nRoadmap Ownership: Able to build a plan and a standard from scratch in a greenfield environment, and to defend an investment case.\n\nShop Floor Pragmatism: Designs for operators and shift reality, favors robust over elegant solutions, works autonomously and embraces a “no task is too small” mentality.\n\nCommunication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication in French and English, capable of working with diverse principals, from operators on the line to senior leadership.\n\nEligibility: Security clearance may be required for this role.\n\nCommitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.\n\nWe look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3728,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"Upper-Intermediate
