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 Business Development team at Hermeus is seeking a dynamic and innovative professional to help expand our engagement with the defense and intelligence enterprise both in the United States and in allied markets. To be blunt, we’re looking for an “Athlete”—someone who embraces challenges and consistently adds value.

For Hermeus, leveraging hypersonic aircraft to meet government needs is a critical step toward safely and comfortably flying passengers at Mach 5. We are looking for an individual who can effectively represent our company’s vision to government stakeholders, identify and pursue opportunities to enhance our government and national security efforts, and collaborate seamlessly with our engineering, operations, and product teams as they build the world’s fastest aircraft.

We’re creating a diverse team with one overarching goal: advancing government partnerships to accelerate the development and deployment of hypersonic aircraft. Come join us and help build a public-private partnership that will lead to a faster future.
