Hermeus is an aerospace and defense technology company founded to radically accelerate air travel by delivering hypersonic aircraft. The company aims to develop hypersonic aircraft quickly and cost-effectively by integrating hardware-rich, iterative development with modern computing and autonomy. This approach has been validated through the design, build, and test of the company's first combined turbojet-ramjet engine and is now being scaled through its first flight vehicle program, Quarterhorse. Hermeus is also developing Darkhorse, an uncrewed hypersonic aircraft designed to deliver unique asymmetric capabilities to the warfighter.
You will shape the future of commercial supersonic and hypersonic flight. As an Avionics Electrical Engineer, you will take charge of designing and testing custom electrical systems for both ground test and flight applications. This role requires system-level architects who are also experts in their specialized areas, ensuring the seamless integration and compatibility of designs at both the sub-system and integrated system levels.
As a member of the avionics team, you will have the opportunity to work across disciplines to create control and instrumentation systems for engine, structural, hydraulic, and electrical systems. You will be part of a hands-on culture with a bias towards action, working directly to make complex engineering visions a reality.
