Hermeus is an aerospace and defense technology company founded to radically accelerate air travel by delivering hypersonic aircraft. The company aims to develop hypersonic aircraft quickly and cost-effectively by integrating hardware-rich, iterative development with modern computing and autonomy. This approach has been validated through design, build, and test of the company's first combined turbojet-ramjet engine and is now being scaled through its first flight vehicle program, Quarterhorse. Hermeus is also developing Darkhorse — an uncrewed hypersonic aircraft designed to deliver unique asymmetric capabilities to the warfighter.
The Hardware Team at Hermeus is responsible for designing, building, and integrating the critical physical systems that bring our hypersonic vehicles to life. This multidisciplinary team works across structures, mechanisms, fluid systems, propulsion, avionics integration, and manufacturing to develop high-performance aerospace hardware for our hypersonic vehicles.
As a Hardware Engineering Intern, you will work on the full spectrum of aerospace vehicle design, from structures and mechanisms to fluid systems and avionics integration. This internship provides a hands-on opportunity to contribute to the development, manufacturing, and testing of Hermeus's next-generation hypersonic vehicles.
Hermeus is seeking talented students to join our Hardware Engineering team for the Summer 2025 semester.
This is a full-time paid internship that will last around 12-16 weeks (May - August).

Responsibilities:

    • Work with experienced engineers to participate in the design, build, and test of hardware for our hypersonic aircraft.
    • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to troubleshoot challenges.
    • Responsibilities could range from owning propulsion components, test stand build-up and commissioning, designing and fabricating harnesses, thermal and structural analysis, writing flight software, designing PCBs, to aircraft integration.

Minimum Requirements:

    • Practical experience designing, building, and testing vehicles through internships, studies or projects.
    • Must be currently enrolled in a STEM program at an accredited college or university (undergraduate student in your third or fourth year of study, or enrolled in a Master's or Ph.D. program).
    • Strong interest in vehicle hardware.
    • Strong understanding of engineering first principles.
    • Demonstrated ability to work within cross-functional teams.
    • Enthusiasm for aviation and Hermeus's mission.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
    • GPA of 3.0 or above.
