Job Description
Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.
We are seeking a multidisciplinary engineer that will help us develop our next generation Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testbeds for our hypersonic aircraft. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining HIL testbeds that will validate complex avionics systems. You will work closely with software, hardware, and systems engineers to ensure product reliability, functionality, and compliance with specifications.
We are open to hiring a fresh graduate with experience working on a highly integrated school project/team like Cubesat, Rocketry, Drone Racing or similar.
