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.
We are seeking a highly motivated ‘owner’ to join our team as Mission Manager. The ideal candidate is an accountable, curious, and competitive problem owner and solver. Someone who seeks to deliver the ‘right’ solution and overcome bureaucratic inertia at every turn. Mission Managers do not simply implement the contract; they deliver capabilities to the warfighter while serving as the glue that connects Hermeus’ technical teams with the customer. You should have a passion for, and endurance to, work on delivering high-Mach and Hypersonic aircraft to the customer.
