About Hermeus

Reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build fast and powerful aircraft on relevant timelines, delivering the high-speed systems our nation and its allies need to command the skies and deter global threats. Backed by Khosla.

About the role

As a Modeling & Simulation Software Engineering Intern you will work with the software team to develop performant modeling and simulation code for our 6DOF SITL simulation using Julia. You'll Interface with the Flight Software, HMI, and Flight Sciences teams to meet stakeholder needs and ensure accurate results. Your work will involve creating hardware/physics informed software models and validate results with real data.

What they're looking for

  • Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field
  • Proficiency in Julia or strong experience with scientific computing languages such as Python, MATLAB, or C++
  • Understanding of 6DOF dynamics and simulation principles, especially in aerospace or robotics contexts
  • Familiarity with modeling physical systems, including hardware-in-the-loop or physics-informed simulation techniques
  • Experience with data validation and analysis, including comparing simulation outputs to real-world data
  • Strong understanding of engineering first principles
