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.

The Manufacturing Team at Hermeus are the boots on the ground. We have a vast array of experiences ranging from welding, additive, tube bending, machining, integration, and avionics. We are a lean team who are responsible for building a vehicle that will fly. We provide crucial design feedback to our engineering team and can rapidly iterate on design and assembly.

You will complete work order operations, quality buyoffs, and issuing hardware
You will build mechanical and electrical sub-assemblies
You will perform functional qualification testing and harness routing between kit assemblies
You will proficiently use various mechanical tools and heavy machinery
You will maintain, troubleshoot, and install fluid and electromechanical components from a schematic or drawing
You will work closely with engineers and leadership to develop and implement operational improvements focused on driving takt times down and ease of repeatability
You will rapidly change roles/responsibilities while working in a high-paced, challenging work environment
You will play a critical role in coordinated vehicle movements and integrated pressurized ground operations

About You:

High school diploma, associate degree, or equivalent certificate
2+ years of experience in hardware assembly, test, and/or installation
Strong communication skills and ability to read and provide feedback on technical documents
Ability to train operators how to setup and run machines
