Hypersonica is building Europe's hypersonic defence capability as a small, elite team focused on solving high-impact problems at pace. This role offers the opportunity to own weapon system integration end-to-end, leading the full integration of effects solutions into the overall system architecture.
You will work in a talent-dense, startup-like environment where autonomy and impact are paramount. The company hires for exceptional capability and broad technical depth rather than rigid role definitions, meaning the position will evolve based on your strengths and the team's needs. You'll collaborate across engineering, operations, and defence expertise, working directly on problems that matter to European technological independence and security.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading weapon system integration across hardware and software interfaces
- Managing complex multi-disciplinary teams and maintaining system-wide alignment
- Distilling analytical data into key parameters that drive system effectiveness
- Building processes from scratch and navigating ambiguity in a high-pace environment
- Contributing to test and flight feedback loops that drive real engineering decisions
The environment emphasizes high ownership, no micromanagement, clear objectives, and accountability for outcomes. You'll have real opportunity to learn from top experts, contribute meaningfully, and grow within a mission-driven organization that values clarity, integrity, and excellence.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3+ years of experience in systems engineering, with focus on weapon integration, aerospace, or complex kinetic systems
- Proven track record managing complex hardware/software interfaces and keeping multi-disciplinary teams aligned
- Ability to take analytical data and distil key parameters influencing system effectiveness
- Comfort thriving in high-pace, startup-like environments; ability to build processes from scratch and navigate ambiguity
- Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Must be EU/NATO/German citizen and eligible for Security Clearance
