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 an Integration Engineer to take ownership of structural hardware from design release through build, test, and delivery — including airframe primary structure, wings, tail, control surfaces, and other critical load-bearing assemblies. 
 
You’ll serve as the key link between design, manufacturing, and test — ensuring structural assemblies are built to exacting standards of precision, quality, and reliability. This is a highly hands-on, cross-functional role that combines deep technical understanding with strong program execution and first-principles problem-solving.
  • Provide design feedback for manufacturability, assembly, testing, and transport of complex flight structures. 
  • Establish and maintain build roadmaps for assigned assemblies, ensuring cross-functional alignment, on-time hardware delivery, and proactive issue resolution. 
  • Develop and release build CONOPS, work instructions, standard procedures, and process documentation that enable high-quality, high-speed execution. 
  • Support first-article and development builds in a fast-paced, early-stage environment; work hands-on with technicians to validate tooling, processes, and design intent. 
  • Drive design, process, and capital equipment trades to enable future builds and contribute to scalable manufacturing systems and infrastructure. 
  • Lead make-vs-buy assessments and collaborate with Engineering and Supply Chain to achieve optimal cost, schedule, and performance outcomes. 
  • Provide hands-on floor support during structural assembly, integration, and test activities. 
  • Champion continuous improvement across tooling, factory workflows (ERP/MES), and internal standards to increase build efficiency, repeatability, and quality. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline. 
  • 3+ years of experience in aerospace or high-performance structural assembly, integration, or manufacturing. 
  • Deep understanding of aerospace assembly best practices and structural integration principles. 
  • Exposure to tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, drilling and fastening operations, and leak or pressurization checks. 
  • Proficient in CAD, GD&T, and first-principles engineering analysis. 
  • Strong communicator capable of interfacing across design, manufacturing, test, and supply chain functions. 
  • Proven ability to operate autonomously and define new processes from the ground up in a fast-moving environment. 
  • Experience supporting new product introduction or prototype development at an aerospace or defense company. 
  • Hands-on experience authoring and executing work instructions; capable of leading complex first-time structural builds. 
  • Familiarity with critical lift and rigging operations, structural proof and load testing, or hazardous operations. 
  • Experience with metallic and composite structural assemblies, including welding, bonding, or bolting (TIG/MIG/laser preferred). 
  • Background in Lean manufacturing, tooling development, or supplier management in support of rapid hardware development cycles. 
  • Must be willing to work hands-on in the integration area and around heavy equipment on a daily basis. 
  • Ability to lift up to 25 lbs and perform physically active work as required. 
  • Occasional extended hours or weekend work may be required to support key program milestones.
