Jobs at Hypersonica

Own the end-to-end implementation and operation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition across finance, procurement, manufacturing, inventory, quality, maintenance, sales, and logistics. Lead process design, data migration, integrations, testing, deployment, adoption, governance, partner management, and continuous improvement. Establish the SAP operating model, reporting, controls, and business readiness needed to support high-consequence hardware manufacturing.

Own aerodynamic control and flight dynamics simulations for hypersonic vehicles from concept through flight testing. Develop 6-DOF models integrating aerodynamics, mass properties, actuators, and environmental effects. Assess stability, controllability, robustness, and control-surface performance across the flight envelope. Support MIL, SIL, and HIL testing, correlate models with wind-tunnel and flight data, and collaborate with GNC, aerodynamics, aeroelastic, and systems teams.

Own the direction and lifecycle of a complex weapon system, including roadmap, product baseline, variants, configuration, capability releases, trade-offs, and product priorities. Coordinate engineering, manufacturing, testing, safety, quality, programs, and integrated logistics support. Use customer, operator, integration, production, maintenance, and test evidence to guide product evolution while ensuring reliability, safety, maintainability, producibility, and supportability.

Own the Integrated Logistics Support workstream for defence or aerospace programmes, covering logistics support analysis, maintenance planning, spares, technical publications, training, and obsolescence. Partner with engineering, customers, subcontractors, and suppliers to deliver supportability outcomes, manage risk, develop processes, contribute to bids, and make cost, schedule, and logistics trade-off decisions.

Lead the aerodynamic design and optimisation of hypersonic vehicles across subsonic to hypersonic flow regimes. Develop CFD and engineering-level aerodynamic models, coefficient databases, and stability analyses; integrate aerodynamic decisions with systems, GNC, structures, and propulsion. Correlate simulations with wind tunnel and flight-test data, set technical direction, and communicate performance and design trade-offs to stakeholders.

Build and lead Hypersonica’s UK legal function, advising founders and senior leaders on commercial contracts, government and defence programmes, intellectual property, export controls, sanctions, national security, corporate governance, employment matters, compliance, and strategic transactions. The role requires practical, commercially minded risk advice, development of legal processes and templates, management of external counsel, and eventual team building.

Interns will work on real hypersonic aerospace hardware and programs alongside experienced engineers and operators. Depending on their background, responsibilities may involve propulsion, aerodynamics, structures, materials, avionics, guidance and navigation control, software, electronics, manufacturing, testing, quality, simulation, data, or operations. The role emphasizes independent problem-solving, rapid learning, first-principles thinking, building and testing, clear communication, and working onsite with hardware-focused teams.

Supports live defence programmes through analysis, planning, tracking, customer engagement, briefing preparation, and operational execution. The role translates customer requirements, policy context, and programme constraints into actionable inputs; assists programme managers; engages military and government stakeholders; and handles ambiguous, high-ownership tasks in a fast-paced environment.

As a Manufacturing Controls Lead, you'll develop standards, collaborate with vendors, and ensure data continuity within complex manufacturing systems.

As a Programme Manager at Hypersonica, you'll oversee complex programmes in UK defence, ensuring timely delivery, managing budgets, schedules, risks, and leading cross-functional teams while interfacing with military and government stakeholders.

As the Military Business Development Manager, you'll capture defence opportunities, engage with UK military stakeholders, develop growth strategies, and articulate Hypersonica's value in hypersonic capabilities.

The Senior Quality Engineer will establish a Quality Management System for hypersonic hardware, manage nonconformance processes, and ensure supplier quality while collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams.

The role focuses on bridging product development and manufacturing, optimizing designs for production, and ensuring efficient processes to accelerate time to market in aerospace and defense sectors.

Lead mechanical assembly, integration, and test (AIT) for hypersonic vehicles: develop assembly procedures from CAD/drawings, define tooling/fixtures, support hands‑on builds, ensure configuration control and mechanical readiness for testing, and collaborate across mechanical, systems, and electrical teams to resolve integration issues.

Perform electrical assembly, integration, and test (AIT) for hypersonic vehicles: develop wiring and integration procedures from schematics/CAD, define integration sequences, prepare tools/test equipment, support avionics and sensor installation, set up DAQ/test systems, perform integration testing and fault‑finding, and maintain build documentation with traceability.
