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.
As the flight deck responsible engineer, you’ll be responsible for the project management and build execution of the Quarterhorse Flight Deck - a.k.a. the “cockpit” of our remotely piloted aircrafts (RPAs). Your primary objective will be to deliver the pilot stations, engineering stations, IT infrastructure, and RF communications equipment to the flight test team. You’ll also be responsible for managing supply chain, logistics, and budget while collaborating closely with the avionics, flight software, flight test teams; as well as external parties (e.g., DoD ranges)
