Hermeus is an aerospace and defense technology company founded to radically accelerate air travel by delivering hypersonic aircraft. The company aims to develop hypersonic aircraft quickly and cost-effectively by integrating hardware-rich, iterative development with modern computing and autonomy. This approach has been validated through design, build, and test of the company’s first combined turbojet-ramjet engine and is now being scaled through its first flight vehicle program, Quarterhorse. Hermeus is also developing Darkhorse — an uncrewed hypersonic aircraft designed to deliver unique asymmetric capabilities to the warfighter.
We are seeking a dynamic and out-of-the-box-thinking Flight Readiness Engineer (Airworthiness) to join our team. This individual will play a critical role in guiding and collaborating with the regulatory authorities to shape the future of airworthiness standards for our pioneering test vehicle. The ideal candidate will be adept at working within statutory and regulatory frameworks while challenging conventional norms to support Hermeus's groundbreaking innovations. We are seeking a candidate with a deep understanding of airworthiness requirements for both civilian and military aircraft and launch vehicle certification requirements to help guide the certification and development process for our test vehicles.
The location preference for this position is Los Angeles, CA. However, Hermeus will consider a hybrid model for qualified candidates that are willing to travel as required.
We encourage you to apply even if you have skillsets and experience outside of our current needs as we're always open to connect and discuss future opportunities.
