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.
What you'd do
- Support the development of airworthiness, flight operations, and safety documentation for experimental aircraft operations.
- Assist in preparing professional technical deliverables for military and civil airworthiness packages.
- Support operational-risk analysis, including hazard identification, risk tracking, and management of operational constraints and mitigations.
- Apply engineering fundamentals and statistical methods to assess operational data, characterize risk, and support envelope an operational expansion.
- Collaborate with engineering, flight test, operations, and program teams to collect technical inputs and ensure airworthiness artifacts are accurate, complete, and traceable.
- Independently identify and effectively communicate gaps, inefficiencies, and upcoming needs in flight operations and airworthiness processes.
- Support longer-range planning by identifying work that advances programmatic milestones and airworthiness objectives well ahead of formal tasking.
What they want
- Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or graduate degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, or a related STEM discipline.
- Demonstrated interest in aviation, flight test, flight operations, or airworthiness.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to develop clear, professional technical documentation.
- Strong mathematical and analytical skills, including the ability to organize, interpret, and draw conclusions from engineering or test data.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment with shifting priorities.
- Demonstrated initiative and comfort working through ambiguous technical or operational problems without a fully defined path.
- Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and commitment to safe operations.
- GPA of 3.0 or above.
