Hermeus is focused on developing high-speed and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest, working directly with the Department of Defense to maintain an asymmetric advantage over potential adversaries. The Mission Systems Engineering (MSE) Team is tasked with developing the Mission Management System (MMS), a software platform that integrates mission subsystems, autonomy services, and communications for Hermeus aircraft.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional C++ development experience delivering production-quality software
- Proficiency with modern C++ (C++14/17/20), including concurrency, memory management, and performance-oriented programming
- Experience with network programming concepts such as TCP, UDP, and multicast at the socket interface level
- Experience integrating software with hardware systems or external services in environments with evolving requirements
- Ability to define interfaces, protocols, and system boundaries where none exist
- 10+ years of C++ development experience building complex, distributed, or real-time systems
- Experience with RF, SATCOM, LOS radios, or tactical datalink systems
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain C++ software components that extend and evolve the Mission Management System platform
- Integrate third-party mission subsystems, autonomy solutions, and communications services by defining new interfaces, data models, and messaging pathways
- Work with systems, avionics, and network engineers to establish interfaces, data schemas, and protocols across mission systems
- Develop software requirements, architecture artifacts, and integration documentation as the system and platform mature
- Implement mission workflows, operator interaction logic, and data transformation services supporting command, control, and telemetry
- Participate in code reviews, integration builds, simulations, and system-level validation activities
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve software and integration issues in distributed, hardware-connected environments
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
- Must be a U.S. person as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.62 due to access to U.S. export-controlled information
- Experience working in a startup or rapid development environment
- Ability to work in a regulated or safety-critical environment (e.g., DO-178C, ARINC standards, MIL-STD interfaces)
