Hypersonica is a mission-driven Anglo-German defence and aerospace company developing next-generation hypersonic systems for military and civilian applications. The company focuses on rapid, iterative design-to-flight cycles, reducing development timelines and costs through modular hardware architectures, simulation, prototyping and flight testing to deliver sovereign European deep-strike and high-speed aerospace capabilities.

• Design, build, and operate a centralised Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform to aggregate and analyse security logs across infrastructure, networks, and applications.
• Own security log analysis, vulnerability management and incident investigation: establish baselines, create alerting rules for critical security events, and drive rapid incident investigation through log correlation.
• Perform security hardening on systems and applications: define hardening standards, implement configurations, and audit compliance.
• Investigate security incidents through log analysis and become the on-call responder when something breaks or looks suspicious.
• Collaborate closely with Information Security Management to ensure compliance with security policies, regulations (Cyber Essentials, DEF STAN 05-138, ISO 27001, Grundschutz++), and customer requirements.
• Build and maintain comprehensive documentation of SIEM architecture, hardening standards, incident response procedures, and security controls for auditors and team.

IT Security Expert

IT Security Expert creating and managing SIEM solutions to strengthen Europe's defence capabilities. Collaborating in a small elite team to solve significant security challenges rapidly.

engineer

• Own and solve thermo‑mechanical challenges for hypersonic missiles and aerospace vehicles operating in extreme flight environments.
• Lead structural design and advanced analysis of critical vehicle components exposed to extreme aerodynamic loads, thermal gradients, and dynamic stresses.
• Develop and maintain high‑fidelity simulation models (FEA and multi‑physics) to predict structural, thermal, and material behaviour under operational conditions.
• Conduct detailed stress, fatigue, creep, fracture, and thermal stress analysis on novel composites, superalloys, ceramics, and refractory materials.
• Define and shape mechanical system architectures, ensuring robust integration between propulsion systems, airframe structures, thermal protection, and control systems.
• Investigate, select, and qualify high‑temperature materials and material systems capable of sustained operation above 1500°C.
• Analyse material behaviour under thermal cycling, oxidation, ablation, and phase change, identifying risks and driving mitigation strategies.
• Evaluate and influence manufacturing processes (additive manufacturing, advanced casting, welding, high‑precision fabrication) to ensure designs are buildable and scalable.
• Identify material‑ and process‑driven failure modes, feeding insights back into design, analysis, and qualification plans.
• Collaborate closely with propulsion, aerodynamics, and systems teams to translate requirements into manufacturable, testable mechanical designs.
• Support and interpret experimental testing, using data to refine models, material selection, and system architectures.
• Contribute across the full lifecycle from concept through simulation, prototype development, and design maturity.

M&P Structures Engineer

Mechanical Engineer leading structural design and solving thermo-mechanical challenges for hypersonic vehicles at Hypersonica. Contributing to Europe's defence technology on critical projects.

mechanical-engineer

• Own and deliver mechanical engineering solutions across the full system lifecycle, from early concept through design, integration, test, and iteration.
• Operate as a mechanical all‑rounder, bridging detailed component design with system‑level thinking to ensure coherent, flight‑ready hardware.
• Lead mechanical design activities for structures, mechanisms, interfaces, and assemblies, balancing performance, manufacturability, and integration constraints.
• Contribute to system architecture and requirements definition, ensuring mechanical design intent aligns with system‑level objectives and verification plans.
• Develop and interpret analysis and simulation outputs (stress, thermal, structural behaviour), using results to drive sound engineering decisions.
• Work closely with systems, GNC, avionics, propulsion, AIT, and manufacturing teams to ensure mechanical designs integrate cleanly into the wider vehicle.
• Support integration, test, and build activities, diagnosing and resolving mechanical issues as they arise.
• Identify system‑level risks and trade‑offs early, driving mitigations through design, analysis, or process changes.
• Produce and maintain clear engineering documentation, including drawings, specifications, and design justifications.
• Act as a technically credible problem‑solver in ambiguous environments, closing decisions and keeping programmes moving at pace.

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer delivering mechanical solutions enhancing European hypersonic capability. Leading engineering design and integration activities while collaborating with cross-functional teams on complex systems.

systems-engineer

• Own the system architecture and system model for Hypersonica’s high‑speed flight vehicles, ensuring mission intent, vehicle dynamics, avionics, and GNC form a coherent, verifiable whole.
• Lead aerospace systems architecture design, taking responsibility for how the vehicle is defined across disciplines from early concept through Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and beyond.
• Build and maintain the authoritative system requirements model, decomposing mission‑level objectives into clear, testable system and sub‑system requirements.
• Define and own the end‑to‑end system V‑model, including requirements validation, verification strategy, and clear readiness gates for Kick‑off and PDR.
• Apply model‑based systems engineering (MBSE) as a practical engineering tool, not a documentation exercise, ensuring traceability between requirements, models, analyses, and tests.
• Develop and deliver a 6‑DoF Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) model to PDR standard, in close collaboration with flight physics and avionics engineers.
• Apply closed‑loop control theory in the context of high‑speed flight and military guidance, ensuring controllability, stability, and performance are understood at the system level.
• Integrate vehicle dynamics, control laws, sensors, and actuators into a coherent closed‑loop system representation.
• Identify system‑level risks early particularly around requirements gaps, controllability, observability, and verification — and drive mitigations decisively.
• Act as a technical authority across disciplines, keeping architectural decisions coherent as designs evolve at pace.
