Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability
 
At Hypersonica, we’re redefining what’s possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.
 
By joining Hypersonica, you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.
 
We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.

What you'll do

    • Support the delivery of hypersonic vehicles through electrical Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) activities. 

    • Develop electrical assembly, wiring, and integration procedures from engineering drawings, schematics, and CAD data. 

    • Translate avionics and electrical system designs into clear build instructions for harnessing, equipment installation, and system interfaces. 

    • Define electrical integration sequences across subsystem and full vehicle builds. 

    • Identify required tools, test equipment, consumables, and inspection steps for electrical integration and verification. 

    • Develop and maintain electrical build documentation, ensuring traceability and configuration control. 

    • Support installation and integration of avionics, sensors, and electrical subsystems. 

    • Set up and support data acquisition and basic test systems for subsystem and vehicle‑level testing. 

    • Collaborate across Mechanical, Systems, and Avionics teams to resolve integration challenges. 

    • Support electrical integration testing and fault‑finding activities. 

Who you are

    • A hands‑on Electrical AIT Engineer with experience integrating electrical or avionics systems into complex hardware. 

    • Degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Aerospace Engineering (or similar). 

    • Strong ability to read schematics, wiring diagrams, and CAD models and translate them into practical build steps. 

    • Experience with wiring, harnessing, avionics integration, or test setups. 

    • Familiarity with DAQ systems, instrumentation, or embedded systems is advantageous. 

    • Detail‑oriented with a strong focus on quality and traceability. 

    • Comfortable troubleshooting electrical integration and test issues. 

     

What we offer

  • A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.
  • Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.
  • High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.
  • A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.
  • A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
  • Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.

At Hypersonica, every hire raises the bar. We are deliberately small, intensely capable, and deeply mission-driven. If this role feels like a strong fit, or if you believe you bring something exceptional that goes beyond the description, we encourage you to apply.
 
Hypersonica is an equal-opportunity employer and assesses candidates solely on merit, capability, and potential.
 
You can apply directly to this role or reach out to Nathan Sweeney, Head of Talent. We review every application and aim to respond to all candidates within two weeks, whether the answer is yes or no.
