Job Description

Hermeus is seeking a Dynamics Engineer to join our growing Flight Sciences Team. In this role, you will perform analysis, modeling, and testing to verify subsystem dynamics and control system performance for our high-speed aircraft projects. As part of Hermeus’ iterative path to high-speed flight, you will drive lessons learned into follow-on aircraft requirements from the clean-sheet design phase through analysis, build, and flight test.

Job Responsibility

  • Conduct flight dynamics analysis and simulations to support the design, development, and testing of aerospace systems
  • Develop mathematical models and algorithms to characterize aircraft dynamics, subsystem dynamics, and vehicle control systems
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate flight dynamics solutions into overall system designs
  • Drive integrated test efforts in conjunction with Hermeus’ Test & Operations team to validate system performance from first build into flight
  • Support flight test activities and analyze flight data to validate models and assess performance

Requirements

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to effectively present technical information and drive decision making in a fast-paced, collaborative, and multi-disciplinary environment
  • Background in atmospheric flight dynamics, controls, and hydraulic actuation systems analysis
  • Proficiency in Python and its standard libraries for data processing/analysis/visualization and simulation
  • Experience with simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink for dynamic system modeling & control design
  • Knowledge of FAA and Department of Defense aerospace standards regarding loads, flying qualities, and control system specification is preferred
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance
