Senior Model-Based Design Engineer
Hermeus, Los Angeles, CA
About the job
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
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Model-Based Design Engineer to help establish and advance Model-Based Design (MBD) capabilities across Hermeus' flight software, GNC, and flight sciences teams.
In this role, you will develop and implement Model-Based Design (MBD) workflows supporting key applications, including 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) vehicle simulations, pilot training simulators, Monte Carlo analyses, automated code generation, and system verification. Using MATLAB/Simulink and related tools, you will bridge control system design, software development, and verification while helping teams establish scalable, model-driven engineering practices.
You will play a key role in establishing the tools, processes, and infrastructure needed to develop, generate, integrate, and validate production-quality flight software from system and control models. This includes defining model-based development standards, implementing automated code generation pipelines, and integrating generated software with embedded flight systems and SIL/HIL test environments.
