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.

Hermeus is seeking a Dynamics Engineer to join our growing Flight Sciences Team. In this role, you will perform analysis, modeling, and testingto verify subsystem dynamics and control system performance for our high-speed aircraft projects. As part of Hermeus’ iterative path to high-speed flight, you will drive lessons learned into follow-onaircraft requirements from the clean-sheet design phase through analysis, build, and flight test.

Conduct flight dynamics analysis and simulations to support the design, development, and testing of aerospace systems.

Develop mathematical models and algorithms to characterize aircraft dynamics, subsystem dynamics, and vehicle control systems.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate flight dynamics solutions into overall system designs.

Drive integrated test efforts in conjunction with Hermeus’ Test & Operations team to validate system performance from first build into flight.

Support flight test activities and analyze flight data to validate models and assess performance.

Strong communication skills with the ability to effectively present technical information and drive decision making in a fast-paced, collaborative, and multi-disciplinary environment.

Background in atmospheric flight dynamics, controls, and hydraulic actuation systems analysis.

Proficiency in Python and its standard libraries for data processing/analysis/visualization and simulation.

Experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink for dynamic system modeling & control design.

Knowledge of FAA and Department of Defense aerospace standards regarding loads, flying qualities, and control system specification is preferred.

Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance.
