About the role

Hermeus is seeking a hands-on, highly motivated New Grad Manufacturing Engineer to support the development, fabrication, and integration of advanced aerospace hardware, including weld-related processes, across our R&D and prototype manufacturing environments.
In this role, you will work closely with design, manufacturing, test, tooling, and integration teams to help bring complex welded assemblies from concept to hardware.
This is an ideal opportunity for a recent graduate who has strong hands-on experience through internships, research, capstone projects, student competition teams, or manufacturing environments and is excited to build, test, learn quickly, and contribute directly to flight hardware development.

Support the development and improvement of weld processes, parameters, fixtures, and joint designs for advanced aerospace hardware.
Assist with R&D and prototype builds of welded aircraft structures, tanks, propulsion assemblies, and related hardware.
Work closely with technicians, manufacturing engineers, and design engineers to support fabrication, assembly, and integration activities.
Support weld qualification efforts, including mechanical testing, NDE inspection, documentation, and data review.
Partner with design and manufacturing teams to improve weld joint design, tooling, and assembly methods for manufacturability, precision, and repeatability.
Assist with process control improvements using feedback from weld testing, NDE results, and build data.
Support research and evaluation of welding technologies, materials, and joining methods for potential use in hypersonic aircraft manufacturing.
Collaborate with tooling, automation, and integration teams to reduce distortion, improve build accuracy, and accelerate production timelines.
Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today.
By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield.

Graduating or Graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, execution-focused environment.
Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally across engineering and manufacturing teams.

Hands-on welding, fabrication, or joining experience.
Experience with aerospace structures, propulsion hardware, tanks, pressure vessels, or structural assemblies.
Exposure to nickel-based alloys, stainless steel, titanium, copper, aluminum, or other aerospace materials.
Experience with NDE, mechanical testing, metallography, brazing, or other joining processes.
Interest in automation, robotic welding, tooling, and manufacturing process improvement.
