Hermeus Tech Stack
Hypersonic aircraft manufacturer for U.S. defense and allied interests
Hermeus designs and builds high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the Department of Defense, working directly under the Quarterhorse Program with four purpose-built test vehicles. The stack—MATLAB, ANSYS, NX, SolidWorks, Teamcenter, Docker, Python, C++, plus embedded platforms (Raspberry Pi, Arduino, STM32)—reflects a hardware-heavy, simulation-first approach to iterative flight test. Hiring is dominated by engineering (78 roles) with manufacturing (17) and ops (3) backing it up, and pain points cluster around prototype-to-production transition and aggressive build cycles, signaling a company scaling from rapid iteration into sustained production cadence.
