Job description

Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability

At Hypersonica, we're redefining what's possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.

By joining Hypersonica, you're not stepping into a predefined role. You're joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.

We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you've achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn't fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe's technological independence.

What you’ll do

• Develop schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts using Altium Designer.
• Perform component selection, circuit simulation, and design verification.
• Design power distribution, signal conditioning, and sensor interface circuits.
• Analyze signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC/EMI performance.
• Support board bring‑up¹, debugging, validation, and root cause analysis.
• Collaborate closely with FPGA, embedded software, and mechanical engineering teams.
• Prepare design documentation, test procedures, and manufacturing documentation.
• Participate in design reviews and ensure compliance with MIL‑STD‑461, MIL‑STD‑810, and other applicable industry standards.
• Support prototype builds, qualification testing, and production transfer activities.

At Hypersonica, every hire raises the bar. We are deliberately small, intensely capable, and deeply mission‑driven.

Hypersonica is an equal‑opportunity employer and assesses candidates solely on merit, capability, and potential.
