Sobre este puesto de Software Engineer - Mission Systems en Hermeus

Hermeus · Presencial · Atlanta, GA
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.

The Mission Systems Engineering (MSE) Team develops the Mission Management System (MMS)—a software platform that integrates mission subsystems, autonomy services, operator interfaces, communications links, and telemetry for Hermeus aircraft. The MMS enables rapid incorporation of new capabilities from internal teams and third-party providers. As a Software Engineer on this team, you will design, implement, and test C++ software that extends this platform and interfaces with mission subsystems, autonomy solutions, and external services. 

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 
  • Contribute to simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments for capability validation
  • Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field 
  • 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 
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills 
  • Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • 10+ years of C++ development experience building complex, distributed, or real-time systems 
  • Experience developing mission systems, operator-facing software, mission planning tools, or telemetry visualization systems 
  • Experience with RF, SATCOM, LOS radios, or tactical datalink systems 
  • Familiarity with publish/subscribe or messaging middleware (e.g., DDS, ZeroMQ, ActiveMQ, Kafka) 
  • Understanding of avionics architectures, autonomy frameworks, or integration of third-party mission subsystems 
  • Experience in regulated or safety-critical environments (e.g., DO-178C, ARINC standards, MIL-STD interfaces) 
  • Strong debugging and test experience, including simulation or hardware-in-the-loop environments 
  • Experience working in a startup or rapid development environment 

  • 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.

    Benefits:

    • Health & Wellness: 100% employer-paid healthcare and pet insurance
    • Financial: Competitive pay, stock options, 401(k) retirement plan, and potential year-end bonuses
    • Time Off: Paid parental leave, 12 federal holidays, unlimited PTO for exempt employees, and generous accrued PTO for non-exempt employees
    • Office Perks: Weekly paid office lunches and fully stocked breakrooms
