Description
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.
Responsibilities
- Develop the electro-mechanical design of wire harnesses within our family of vehicles
- Design packaging solutions for electro-mechanical assemblies
- Generate electrical schematics to support both flight and qualification designs
- Own vehicle-level harnessing mechanical assemblies and drive to closure all systems integration trades related to those assemblies
- Perform thermal, structural, electrical and electromagnetic analysis (both hand calculations and finite element analysis) and physical testing of both harnessing and electro-mechanical assemblies
- Drive failure analysis of components as it relates to thermal, loads, vibration and shock as needed
- Perform R&D investigations and trade studies to push avionics system design to new boundaries in terms of mass and cost savings
- Interface with internal and external manufacturing, supply chain, and testing teams to ensure final designs meet overall project goals
- Own the hardware delivery timeline and success through inception, design, assembly, test, and integration
- Lead design reviews internally and participate in reviews with suppliers and customers
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or physics
- 3+ years of experience with electromechanical design, analysis, and testing (internships and significant student project experience qualify)
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Experience with wire harness 3D design, wire harness installation drawings, wiring diagrams, 3D modeling of complex top-level assemblies, 3D modeling and analysis of avionics enclosures and secondary structure
- Proficient and frequent use of hand calculations for electrical, structural, thermal, vibration sizing of electro-mechanical assemblies and harnesses
- Experience with CAD (NX preferred), FEA (Ansys preferred), and PLM (Teamcenter) software packages
- Experience with fatigue, vibration, shock, vacuum, and thermal testing of electro-mechanical hardware
- Experience working with PCB designers and exposure to PCB layout
- 1+ years of hands-on project experience with complex mechanical systems, preferably as a team lead (including internships)
- Strong teamwork skills with a proven ability to effectively interact and collaborate with other engineering disciplines and excellent attention to detail
- Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
Additional Requirements
- Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones
- Willing to travel up to 30% of the time
