Job description

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:

We are seeking an exceptional Aerodynamics Engineer to contribute to the design and analysis of our high super sonic vehicles. As an Aerodynamics Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the development of advanced aerodynamic solutions, ensuring optimal performance, stability, and efficiency during high-speed flight. Join our dynamic team and be part of the journey to create groundbreaking aerospace solutions at an iterative pace not seen since the 60's.

Responsibilities:

Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop and refine aerodynamic designs for supersonic to hypersonic vehicles.

Conduct computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and analyses to assess aerodynamic performance and behavior.

Design, optimize, and evaluate vehicle configurations for high-speed flight and hypersonic travel.

Contribute to wind tunnel testing and experimental data analysis to validate CFD predictions.

Participate in the development and implementation of innovative aerodynamic solutions.

Work closely with other engineering disciplines to ensure integrated vehicle design and performance.

Requirements:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field.

2+ years of relevant experience in aerodynamics and aerospace engineering.

Proficiency in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and tools.

Strong understanding of aerodynamics principles and concepts.

Familiarity with aerodynamic design and analysis techniques for high-speed flight.

Solid programming skills (Python, MATLAB, etc.) for data analysis and modeling.

Effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

Knowledge of wind tunnel testing and experimental data analysis.

Previous experience in experimental programs.
