Job description

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:

This role requires strong RF fundamentals, broad electrical systems experience, and the ability to move quickly from architecture to hardware integration and test. You will work closely with avionics, GNC, flight software, manufacturing, quality, test, and operations teams to deliver reliable communication, telemetry, navigation, and sensor/instrumentation systems. 

Responsibilities:

  • Define RF system requirements, architectures, interfaces, and verification approaches.
  • Develop block diagrams, link budgets, interface documentation, test plans, and integration procedures.
  • Design, build, integrate, and test RF hardware including antennas, radios, RF modules, cabling, connectors, and supporting electrical assemblies.
  • Execute RF testing, including conducted RF tests, antenna measurements, environmental testing, and system-level validation.
  • Troubleshoot RF performance issues and drive corrective actions through design, build, integration, and test.
  • Support aircraft and ground station integration, ground test, flight test, and off-nominal troubleshooting.
  • Analyze RF test and flight data, document results, and communicate risks and recommendations.
  • Support regulatory coordination related to FCC, FAA, AFTRCC, and other RF spectrum or flight test requirements.
  • Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
  • 4+ years of experience with RF, antenna, radio, telemetry, communication, or electrical systems.
  • Experience with RF/electrical test equipment such as VNAs, spectrum analyzers, power meters, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and multimeters.
  • Strong RF fundamentals, including propagation, impedance matching, VSWR, gain/loss, noise figure, filtering, and link performance.
  • Experience developing RF test plans, procedures, setups, or data analysis workflows.
  • Strong hands-on troubleshooting skills in lab, integration, or test environments.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and clearly communicate technical tradeoffs, results, risks, and recommendations.
  • Bias toward action and willingness to work hands-on with hardware.
  • Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Master’s degree focused on antennas, RF systems, microwave circuits, communications, or related field.
  • Experience with L, S, C, Ku, or Ka-band systems.
  • Aerospace, defense, aircraft, spacecraft, UAV, missile, or flight test experience.
  • Experience with antennas, telemetry, radios, navigation, communication links, or RF instrumentation.
  • Familiarity with modulation schemes such as QAM, BPSK, QPSK, or SOQPSK.
  • Experience with HFSS, CST, FEKO, ADS, MATLAB, Python, or similar tools.
  • Hands-on prototyping skills, including soldering, cable fabrication, and connectorization.
  • EMI/EMC or qualification testing experience, including MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-464, or DO-160.
  • Startup, rapid prototyping, or agile hardware development experience.
  • Ability to travel on short notice for integration, ground test, or flight test support.
  • 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.

    How to prepare and behave

    This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

    Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

    The city

    The job is in Atlanta, GA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

    How Atlanta compares. Among the 100 largest places in Georgia, Atlanta is #1 by population, #10 for remote work (#1 = most), #15 for college degrees (#1 = most), #73 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Fulton County, is #1 of 159 counties for average pay ($100,817).

    The place in numbers

    Atlanta has 505,268 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.6% of the population of Georgia. It covers 135 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,734 people per square mile. The median age is 34.2, 9% younger than the state median (34.2 against 37.6).

    Housing

    The median gross rent is $1,711 a month (rent plus utilities), 23% above the state median ($1,711 against $1,393). Over a year that is 24.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $439,600, which is 5.1 times the median household income ($85,652); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 46.4% of households own their home, 29% below the state average (46.4% against 65.7%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

    Work and pay

    The Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA metropolitan area has 2,889,670 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,170 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,170 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (328,500 jobs, median $47,040); transportation and material moving (313,910 jobs, median $44,120); sales and related (277,630 jobs, median $37,550). The area is most specialised in business and financial operations (1.3 times) and legal (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($130,550) and computer and mathematical ($110,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fulton County was 3.6%. 68.7% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fulton County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

    Getting around

    Among workers, 52.9% drive alone, 5.7% use public transit, 3.9% walk, 29.7% work from home. 14.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 28% below the state average (14.2% against 19.8%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

    People and education

    59.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 69% above the state share (59.2% against 35.0%). 9.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 19% below the state share (9.0% against 11.2%). The poverty rate is 16.9%, 27% above the state rate (16.9% against 13.4%).

    Climate

    The warmest month is Jul, averaging 80°F (26.5°C), and the coolest is Jan at 40°F (4.7°C). About 1,292 mm (51 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (133 mm) and Oct the driest (88 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

    Closest cities in this guide: North Druid Hills (7 miles, rent 10% higher); East Point (7 miles, rent 20% lower); Vinings (7 miles, rent 7% higher); Decatur (7 miles, rent 3% lower). Rent differences are against Atlanta; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
