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.
About The Role:
As a Senior Flight Test Engineer at Hermeus, you will help plan, coordinate, and execute ground and flight test campaigns for advanced high-speed aircraft systems. This role sits at the center of flight operations, systems integration, mission planning, and test execution, working closely with engineering, certification, operations, and flight crews to ensure vehicles are safely configured and ready to meet program objectives. You will support everything from test planning and procedure development to test card generation, real-time execution, debriefs, data analysis, and reporting. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-moving test environments, can solve problems in real time, and brings strong judgment, technical rigor, and a deep commitment to safety.
