Job summary

Hermeus is seeking an Integration Engineer to own the design release, build, test, and delivery of fluid, propulsion, and mechanism assemblies— including control surface actuators and spike inlet systems.

You will bridge design, manufacturing, and test, driving complex assemblies from concept through validation in a fast‑paced, first‑principles environment with hands‑on responsibilities on the factory floor.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• 3+ years hands-on hardware integration in fluid/propulsion/mechanical systems.
• Experience with GD&T, CAD, and tolerance analysis.
• Ability to communicate across design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test.

Responsibilities

• Provide design feedback to improve manufacturability, assembly, testability, and integration for complex fluid and propulsion systems.
• Establish and maintain build roadmaps for assigned assemblies to align stakeholders, drive hardware and tooling deliveries, and minimize build serialization.
• Develop and release build CONOPS, work instructions, standard processes, and procedures to enable high‑quality, high‑velocity execution.
• Lead and support first‑article builds in an early‑stage rapid development environment, identifying and resolving issues in real time.
• Own design, process, and capital equipment trades to unlock key production capabilities and support scalable manufacturing infrastructure.
• Drive make‑vs‑buy decisions and collaborate closely with design engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
• Provide hands‑on support during build, integration, and test operations, ensuring technical issues are addressed quickly and effectively.
• Support test readiness activities, including component and system pressurization, leak checks, actuator functional tests, and propulsion integration.
• Drive continuous improvement across the production floor — including tooling, ERP/MES workflows, build documentation, and internal specifications.
• Champion a safety‑first mindset, especially during hazardous or high‑pressure operations.
