Description For Senior Structures Manufacturing Engineer

Hermeus is an aerospace and defense technology company founded to radically accelerate air travel by delivering hypersonic aircraft. The company aims to develop hypersonic aircraft quickly and cost-effectively by integrating hardware-rich, iterative development with modern computing and autonomy. As a Senior Structures Manufacturing Engineer at Hermeus, you will be responsible for the build and inspection processes for structural assembly and testing of primary and secondary structures on the Quarterhorse vehicle. You will develop, qualify, and refine manufacturing processes, collaborate with other engineers and technicians, resolve product non-conformances, and lead improvement projects. This role requires a strong background in aviation or aerospace manufacturing, with experience in metallic manufacturing techniques, CAD, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. You'll work closely with the engineering and technician teams, providing crucial design feedback and rapidly iterating on design and assembly. This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of hypersonic aircraft development, working on cutting-edge projects like Quarterhorse and Darkhorse. The ideal candidate will have experience with high-volume manufacturing, quality tools, and complex automated systems. Experience with Inconel, Titanium, and 3D-printed parts is a plus. Join Hermeus to push the boundaries of air travel and make a significant impact in the aerospace industry.
