Job summary

Hermeus Corporation is seeking an Integration Engineer to own structural hardware from design release through build, test, and delivery. You will link design, manufacturing, and test for airframe primary structures, wings, tail, and load-bearing assemblies in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.

You will drive manufacturability feedback, build roadmaps, and develop CONOPS and work instructions to enable high-speed, high-quality execution while collaborating across engineering and supply chain.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace engineering.
• 3+ years in aerospace or high‑performance structural assembly.
• Knowledge of aerospace assembly and structural integration.
• Experience with tolerance stack‑up analysis, structural proof testing, drilling and fastening, and leak checks.
• Proficient in CAD, GD&T, and first‑principles engineering analysis.
• Strong cross‑functional communication and autonomous work style.
• Ability to define new processes in a fast‑moving environment.

Responsibilities

• Provide design feedback for manufacturability, assembly, testing, and transport of complex flight structures.
• Establish and maintain build roadmaps for assigned assemblies, ensuring cross‑functional alignment, on‑time hardware delivery, and proactive issue resolution.
• Develop and release build CONOPS, work instructions, standard procedures, and process documentation that enable high‑quality, high‑speed execution.
• Support first‑article and development builds in a fast‑paced, early‑stage environment; work hands‑on with technicians to validate tooling, processes, and design intent.
• Drive design, process, and capital equipment trades to enable future builds and contribute to scalable manufacturing systems and infrastructure.
• Lead make‑vs‑buy assessments and collaborate with Engineering and Supply Chain to achieve optimal cost, schedule, and performance outcomes.
• Provide hands‑on floor support during structural assembly, integration, and test activities.
• Champion continuous improvement across tooling, factory workflows (ERP/MES), and internal standards to increase build efficiency, repeatability, and quality.
