Ring Inc
Hermeus is a high‑speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high‑Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries.
The Manufacturing Team at Hermeus are the boots on the ground. We have a vast array of experiences ranging from welding, additive, tube bending, machining, integration, and avionics. We are a lean team who are responsible for building a vehicle that will fly. We provide crucial design feedback to our engineering team and can rapidly iterate on design and assembly.
The Opportunity and How You’ll Impact Hermeus
You will be responsible for the build and inspection processes for the structural assembly and testing of primary and secondary structures on the Quarterhorse vehicle
You will develop, qualify, and refine manufacturing processes to meet all design and business requirements including safety, quality, efficiency, and delivery
You will collaborate with other engineers, subject matter experts, and technicians to solve large‑scale production challenges
You will resolve product non‑conformances and collaborate with the quality team to implement root cause analysis and corrective actions
You will lead improvement projects to ensure that safety, reliability, and process capability goals are achieved, maintained, and improved
You will be a vital part of the relationship between our engineering and technician team
You will provide input into the design and development of new and existing hardware and take a lead role in the manufacturing and integration of our current and next‑generation vehicles
You will identify, plan, and execute on capital equipment, machine, and layout upgrades to meet production demand
You will develop and refine floor layouts, capacity models, and product flow analysis to ensure on‑time delivery of the vehicle as a whole
You will apply process improvement methodologies and tools (e.g. value stream mapping, problem‑solving, visual management, etc.) to reduce manufacturing build hours and quality issues; increase production rates; and remove waste from complex processes
You will manage projects and execute to tight timelines while effectively communicating to and influencing stakeholders
You will train technicians, engineers, and leaders on best‑in‑class operations practices by leading process improvement workshops; providing training and information briefs on key topics; and personally, demonstrating by implementing solutions in the area
You will work with design engineers to evaluate designs for manufacturability and test requirements, then implement in a rapidly evolving production environment
You will ideate and implement tooling and test solutions, enabling high‑quality built hardware
About You
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering or a technical discipline
2+ years of experience in aviation or aerospace manufacturing environment
Experience with prototype development, design for manufacturability, and applying quality tools such as root cause analysis, PFMEAs, and data‑driven process evaluation.
Strong communication skills and ability to read and provide feedback on technical documents
Ability to make appropriate assumptions and perform trade studies using first principles and engineering fundamentals to create rationale for clear recommendations
Experience with metallic manufacturing techniques and equipment for processes such as CNC fabrication, welding (orbital tube and TIG), precision cleaning, forming, inspection, etc.
Demonstrated experience with CAD and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
Experience in control and monitoring of complex automated systems and risk assessment/reduction of the system
Will sometimes be working directly with the hardware on the floor and will have to be comfortable stooping, bending, and standing
Ability to work overtime and weekends as needed
Desired Multipliers
Experience in a startup development environment
Experience working in a flight development program
Experience working with Inconel and Titanium
Experience transitioning parts from the first article to production
$110,000 - $140,000 a year
