The posting

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. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

About The Role:

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain high-fidelity, 6-DOF aircraft simulation models using MATLAB/Simulink to support vehicle development, pilot training, Monte Carlo analysis, and system verification.
  • Develop, implement, and maintain Model-Based Design workflows using MATLAB, Simulink, and related tools to support simulation development and integration.
  • Build and expand simulation capabilities that integrate aircraft dynamics, sensors, actuators, and flight software.
  • Establish model-based development processes across flight software, GNC, and flight sciences engineering teams, initially focused on simulation with future expansion into control system development.
  • Develop and support Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) verification workflows.
  • Implement automated code generation workflows to translate Simulink models into production-quality C/C++ software for simulation and embedded flight systems.
  • Define best practices for model architecture, configuration management, code generation, testing, and verification.
  • Integrate generated software with existing simulation environments, flight software architectures, embedded targets, and hardware interfaces.
  • Build automated testing and continuous integration processes for model-based development.
  • Collaborate closely with GNC, flight software, avionics, systems, and test teams to ensure consistency between models, generated code, and deployed systems.
  • Debug and resolve issues involving model behavior, generated code, software integration, and system performance.
  • Support requirements traceability, model verification, and validation activities for flight-critical software.
  • Help drive adoption of Model-Based Design practices through technical guidance, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in Model-Based Design, embedded software development, controls engineering, or related technical fields.
  • Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development workflows.
  • Experience using Simulink Coder, Embedded Coder, or similar tools to generate executable C/C++ software from models.
  • Demonstrated experience developing, implementing, or improving Model-Based Design workflows in an engineering environment.
  • Experience integrating generated code with embedded software or real-time systems.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and familiarity with embedded software development practices.
  • Understanding of control systems, dynamic systems, and software verification methodologies.
  • Experience with MIL, SIL, or HIL testing and validation.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across models, generated code, and software interfaces.
  • Ability to work across multidisciplinary engineering teams and take ownership of complex technical initiatives.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience establishing Model-Based Design processes or infrastructure across multiple engineering teams.
  • Advanced experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Stateflow, Simulink Test, Simulink Coder, and Embedded Coder.
  • Experience implementing model-based code generation pipelines for production or flight-critical embedded software.
  • Familiarity with model-based software architecture, reusable model libraries, and modeling standards.
  • Experience integrating model-based development workflows into CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and software configuration management.
  • Experience with real-time embedded targets and platforms such as Speedgoat, dSPACE, NI VeriStand, or OPAL-RT.
  • Experience developing or integrating flight controls, GNC, avionics, or autonomous systems.
  • Familiarity with aerospace software development standards such as DO-178C and DO-331.
  • Knowledge of model verification, code verification, requirements traceability, and software qualification processes.
  • Experience with aircraft, UAVs, spacecraft, automotive control systems, or other complex safety-critical platforms.
  • Strong ownership mindset with the ability to introduce new development practices, solve ambiguous technical problems, and help engineering teams iterate quickly.

The salary range listed for this role is intended as a general guideline. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including role scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, market data, and business needs.

At Hermeus, compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. We offer competitive pay, equity, and a range of benefits designed to support our team.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
