Full 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:

As a Senior GNC Engineer at Hermeus, you will help develop and deploy the flight control, navigation, and autonomy systems that enable our aircraft to fly safely and perform reliably in demanding real-world environments. This role will focus heavily on flight controls development, controls modeling, state estimation, and autonomy for advanced aircraft applications, including autonomous takeoff and landing.

You will work across simulation, software, hardware, and flight test to build and validate advanced control and estimation capabilities for high-speed aircraft. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving hard dynamic systems problems, moving quickly from analysis to implementation, and working closely with cross-functional teams to take algorithms from concept through validation and flight.

Responsibilities:

Develop and improve flight control, guidance, and navigation algorithms for high-speed aircraft
Design and implement control laws, estimation logic, and sensor fusion strategies for autonomous and piloted flight applications, with an emphasis on autonomous takeoff and landing
Develop and analyze linear control models and dynamic system representations to support controller design, stability analysis, and performance assessment
Build and refine high-fidelity models of vehicle dynamics, sensors, actuators, and control system behavior using MATLAB, Simulink, and related simulation tools
Conduct 6-DOF simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, regression testing, and performance studies to validate system robustness across nominal and off-nominal conditions
Support software and system integration across flight controls, navigation, avionics, and other vehicle subsystems
Execute and analyze software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and system integration testing campaigns
Support flight test planning, real-time test execution, and post-flight data analysis to validate and improve control and estimation performance
Collaborate closely with avionics, software, test, and vehicle engineering teams to define requirements, interfaces, and system architecture
Drive technical trade studies for sensors, estimators, control logic, and autonomy-related subsystems
Contribute to verification strategies, test coverage definition, and system-level performance validation
Document technical work clearly through reports, test reviews, and design presentations

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, or a related technical field
5+ years of professional experience in GNC, flight controls, autonomy, estimation, robotics, or closely related aerospace systems
Strong fundamentals in dynamics, linear controls, stability analysis, and modeling and simulation
Experience developing or integrating flight-critical algorithms for aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, UAVs, or other autonomous systems
Proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C++, or similar technical computing and software development tools

Preferred Skills and Experience:

Experience with flight controls development for autonomous aircraft or other high-performance aerospace systems
Experience with autonomous takeoff and landing system development, testing, or validation
Experience with GNSS, INS/IMU, air data systems, and other aircraft navigation sensors
Practical experience with Kalman filtering techniques, including EKF, UKF, or related estimation methods
Experience with 6-DOF simulation, control law development, and flight dynamics modeling
Experience with software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, Monte Carlo testing, and regression-based validation
Experience supporting flight test, post-flight analysis, and control system tuning
Ability to solve complex technical problems with a high degree of ownership in a fast-paced development environment
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Passion for building advanced aircraft and enabling a faster pace of flight development

The salary range listed for this role is intended as a general guideline. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including role scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, market data, and business needs.

At Hermeus, compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. We offer competitive pay, equity, and a range of benefits designed to support our team.

Benefits:

Health & Wellness: 100% employer-paid healthcare and pet insurance
Financial: Competitive pay, stock options, 401(k) retirement plan, and potential year-end bonuses
Time Off: Paid parental leave, 12 federal holidays, unlimited PTO for exempt employees, and generous accrued PTO for non-exempt employees
Office Perks: Weekly paid office lunches and fully stocked breakrooms

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.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
