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. This approach has been validated through design, build, and test of the company’s first combined turbojet-ramjet engine and is now being scaled through its first flight vehicle program, Quarterhorse. Hermeus is also developing Darkhorse — an uncrewed hypersonic aircraft designed to deliver unique asymmetric capabilities to the warfighter.
The Manufacturing Team at Hermeus are the boots on the ground. We have a vast array of experiences ranging from welding, additive, tube bending, machining, integration, and avionics. We are a lean team who are responsible for building a vehicle that will fly. We provide crucial design feedback to our engineering team and can rapidly iterate on design and assembly.
We are currently seeking an Avionics Integration Technician III to be a part of our team.

- Interpreting drawings, building, and testing harnessing then providing feedback including but not limited to correcting drawings, harness errors or modification and improvements.
- Working with a team to meet deadlines and occasional travel to ensure testing of aircraft for company milestones.
- Assist avionics engineering by rapidly iterating electronic components and cables
- Construct superior wire cables, perform PCB soldering as needed, test racks/systems
- Build, modify, test, and maintain flight deck systems for unmanned pilot stations
- Collaborate closely with engineering to transform concepts into reality
- Monitor one's own work progress against established standards and deliver all work on schedule
- Examine, interpret, and use drawings and regulated documentation/procedures
- Understand intricate cable harnesses, wiring diagrams, mechanical and layout drawings, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing
- Aid in developing manufacturing processes for initial production runs
- Contribute to projects aimed at increasing operational efficiency in the area
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience manufacturing wire harnesses in commercial, automotive, or aerospace industry
