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:
As a Loads and Dynamics Engineer you will support the development of our supersonic & hypersonic aircraft programs. This individual will work closely with the aerodynamics and structures teams to develop and refine external loads, create dynamic simulations, validate analysis through testing and flight, and evaluate flutter behaviors to support aircraft development.
U.S. EXPORT CONTROL COMPLIANCE STATUS
The person hired will have access to information and items subject to U.S. export controls, and therefore, must either be a “U.S. person” as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.62 or otherwise eligible for deemed export licensing. US persons include U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), and asylees and refugees with such status granted, not pending.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Hermeus is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions at Hermeus are based solely on merit, competence, and qualifications, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
Responsibilities:
Solve structural static and dynamic problems through hand calculations, finite element analysis, or test data
External loads definition from flight maneuvers, gust, takeoff and landing for use in structural design and analysis
Generation of vehicle finite element model to assess static and dynamic load cases
Characterization of aeroelastic effects such as flutter
Definition of random vibration environments from buffet and engine dynamics
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field.
1+ years of job or project experience in loads and dynamics analysis, ideally in aerospace or a similar high-performance engineering field.
Strong understanding of engineering first principles.
Demonstrated ability to work within cross-functional teams.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
Professional experience with industry-standard simulation tools, such as NASTRAN or similar finite element analysis software. Experience with CFD and multi-disciplinary optimization tools is a plus.
Analytical/engineering programming experience, including data processing (Python preferred)
Experience with supersonic or hypersonic flight regimes, including high-temperature materials, shock-wave dynamics, and thermal loads.
Solid understanding of flight mechanics, aerodynamics, and structural analysis principles, with the ability to apply these concepts to complex problems.
Strong proficiency in structural dynamics, vibration analysis, and loads analysis for high-speed aerospace vehicles, preferably hypersonic or supersonic vehicles.
Previous experience working on cutting-edge aerospace projects, particularly related to hypersonic or high-speed vehicles.
Strong understanding of engineering first principles.
Demonstrated ability to work within cross-functional teams.
Ability to travel on short notice
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary team environment, with a proactive and hands-on approach to problem-solving
