Teams at Hermeus

Designs and analyzes aircraft structures supporting hydraulics, fuel, propulsion, and avionics subsystems. Performs structural and thermal analysis, leads mechanical trade studies, and owns hardware development from concept through fabrication, integration, and testing. Collaborates with manufacturing, supply chain, test, suppliers, and customers to deliver practical, efficient designs. Requires a mechanical, aerospace, or physics degree, hands-on electromechanical design experience, and willingness to travel up to 25%.

Build Engineer responsible for converting aerospace designs into detailed hardware, tooling, manufacturing processes, test procedures, and flight-ready vehicle assemblies. The role leads prototype-to-production transitions, improves factory and test flows, collaborates across design and production teams, and delivers hardware on aggressive timelines. Hands-on experience with physical hardware, CAD, test equipment, manufacturing processes, and GD&T is required. Travel to test sites and partner locations may reach 25%.

Lead the end-to-end expansion of a high-enthalpy airbreathing propulsion test facility, from requirements and system architecture through construction, integration, commissioning, and operational readiness. Translate propulsion test objectives into mechanical, fluid, airflow, fuel, exhaust, instrumentation, controls, data acquisition, and safety capabilities. Direct multidisciplinary engineers, contractors, suppliers, and government stakeholders while managing technical decisions, risks, schedule, cost, commissioning, and future scalability.
