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.

This role is primarily responsible for the design, build and test of next generation aircraft aerostructures including fuselage, empennage, control surfaces and landing gear. We are currently in the process of designing iterative airframes on the path to hypersonic flight and looking for a Senior Structures Engineer to lead hardware upgrades, clean sheet designs and mentor junior engineers here in Atlanta. 
  • Lead detailed project planning and drive hardware delivery on aggressive timelines. 
  • Collaborate directly with high level design concepts turning them into detailed designs including final geometry, material selection and DFM. 
  • Design and implement full-stack design to build to testprocesses—factory layout, tooling, test flow, and vehicle integration and test. 
  • Perform analysis of build non-conformances and chart path forward for low rate prototype hardware.
  • Drive the transition from prototype to production for complex aerospace assemblies. 
  • Ruthlessly question process complexity—delete parts, eliminate waste, simplify flow. 
  • Perform detailed structural analysis and report structural margins. 
  • Develop and run test procedures for flight hardware. 
  • Serve as a force multiplier across production, test, and design teams. 
  • Strong engineering first principles. 
  • Comfort with CAD, test equipment, hand tools. 
  • You’ve built something that’s flown, broke, or both. 
  • Proven ability to design, build, break, and iterate quickly. 
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing, or related engineering field. 
  • Hands-on experience with physical hardware (internships, labs, project teams all count). 
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes (machining, welding, forming, etc.) and GD&T fundamentals. 
  • Designed and released flight hardware. 
  • Strong GD&T skills per ASME Y14.5. 
  • Familiarity with Siemens Teamcenter and NX. 
  • Familiarity with NX Nastran and Ansys analysis tools.
  • Familiarity with AWS D17.1 and aerospace welding processes. 
  • Leadership experience on project teams or in mentorship roles. 
  • Experience standing up production lines or test infrastructure in a fast-paced environment. 
  • Must be available to work extended hours and/or weekends as needed to support critical milestones. 
  • Must be willing to travel to test sites, other Hermeus offices, and partner locations as needed (up to 25% travel).
