Our mission: radically accelerate air travel.
The Role
Support the development of supersonic aircraft programs, solve structural problems, create dynamic simulations, and evaluate flutter behaviors.
Summary Generated by Built In
Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries.

As a Loads and Dynamics Engineering Intern you will support the development of our supersonic aircraft programs. This individual will work closely with the aerodynamics and structures teams to develop and refine external loads, create dynamic simulations, validate analysis through testing and flight, and evaluate flutter behaviors to support aircraft development.

Spring: around 12-16 weeks (January - April)
Summer: around 10 weeks (May - August)

Responsibilities:

  • Solve structural static and dynamic problems through hand calculations, finite element analysis, or test data 
  • External loads definition from flight maneuvers, gust, takeoff and landing for use in structural design and analysis  
  • Generation of vehicle finite element model to assess static and dynamic load cases  
  • Characterization of aeroelastic effects such as flutter  
  • Definition of random vibration environments from buffet and engine dynamics  

Minimum Requirements:

  • Practical experience through internships, studies or projects.
  • Must be currently enrolled in a STEM program at an accredited college or university (undergraduate student in your third or fourth year of study, or enrolled in a Master's or Ph.D. program).

What We Do

Hermeus is a startup developing hypersonic aircraft to radically accelerate air travel.

At Mach 5, more than twice the speed of the supersonic Concorde, passengers will be able to cross the Atlantic in 90 minutes.

On the path to hypersonic passenger aircraft, Hermeus is partnering with government agencies including the US Air Force and NASA to develop a series of autonomous aircraft that derisk the technology and solve urgent national security challenges. These products provide the data and confidence necessary to certify, produce, operate, and maintain safe and comfortable commercial aircraft.

Hypersonic aircraft have the potential to create trillions of dollars of new global economic growth per year, unlocking significant resources that can be utilized to solve the world’s greatest problems.

Why Work With Us

We prioritize hardware and people. Cutting-edge technology is only made possible by bringing together a world-class team. At Hermeus, you will be challenged – but also empowered. We encourage calculated risks taking and learning from our mistakes. Iteration is the name of the game.
