Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability
At Hypersonica, we’re redefining what’s possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.
By joining Hypersonica, you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.
We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.

- Build, terminate, and route electrical harnesses, ensuring correct workmanship and configuration.
- Perform soldering and rework on avionics assemblies to aerospace workmanship standards.
- Test avionics units and assemblies, supporting functional checks and fault‑finding during integration.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues arising during avionics build‑up and integration, addressing setbacks quickly and pragmatically.
- Repair and rework avionics hardware as required to maintain build progress.
- Follow and uphold ESD, safety, and quality control procedures at all times.
- Support engineers during integration, test, and AIT activities with rapid, hands‑on execution.
Who you are:

- Hands‑on experience with cable assembly, crimping, connector installation, and routing.
- High attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.

What we offer:
- A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.
- Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.
- High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.
- A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.
- A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
- Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.
