Operational Test Pilot & Exercise Integration Lead

The Flight Operations team at Hermeus is charged with creating the strategy and leading the successful execution of the US Government relationships and processes that enable company flight activity milestones. This close-knit team serves as the main interface between relevant DoD, FAA, and FCC partners and internal company-wide teams. Our team acquires and maintains flight approvals for Hermeus flight vehicles, coordinates and plans with airfields and ranges, and provides fleet insight to our internal teams and government partners. Our work enables Hermeus to achieve rapid flight vehicle development and to deliver Flight Test as a Service to our customers.

As Operational Test Pilot & Exercise Integration Lead, you are the operator's voice inside the company and Hermeus' face to the warfighter. You will fly our aircraft, plan and lead our missions, integrate our vehicles into live ranges and joint exercises, and serve as the single point of coordination between Hermeus and the operational units, range authorities, and test organizations we fly with. You will translate operational intent into executable test plans — and translate flight test results back into capability the force actually wants. You will also carry program management ownership for Flight Test as a Service engagements, from customer scoping through flight execution and data delivery.

This role is for someone who has flown tactical aviation, planned and led complex missions in contested or congested airspace, and is now looking to put that experience directly into a new class of aircraft. You will be an extreme owner, comfortable moving between the cockpit, the control room, the customer's conference room, and the engineering bay in the same day.
