EngineeringElectrical Engineer

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.

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 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. Our team is responsible for the design, testing, and integration of GNC systems, electrical hardware, control software, power distribution, and RF communications.

The Senior Electrical Engineer position requires system-level architects who are also experts in their specialized areas.

As an Avionics Electrical Engineer, you'll take charge of designing and testing custom electrical systems for both ground test and flight applications.

You will ensure the seamless integration and compatibility of your designs at the sub-system and integrated system level.

As a member of the avionics team, you'll have the opportunity to work across disciplines to create control and instrumentation systems for engine, structural, hydraulic, and electrical systems.
