Avionics Manufacturing Engineer

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

 

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. 

📋 Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):

• 1. Over-reliance on simulation without real-world shop floor or lab validation
• 2. Bureaucratic mindset or insistence on exhaustive aerospace paperwork before prototyping
• 3. Inability to defend fundamental physics calculations on the whiteboard

✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I build hardware the way software companies write code: rapid iterations, continuous integration, and test-like-you-fly validation.
