Avionics System Engineer

 

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.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and test avionics subsystems (power distribution, data buses, sensor interfaces, flight computer integration) to meet requirements set by the avionics architecture lead.
• Support development and upkeep of avionics requirements, interface control documents (ICDs), and verification & validation (V&V) test plans.
• Execute avionics AIT (assembly, integration & test) activities: write and run test procedures, capture data, and support anomaly investigation and root-cause analysis.
• Support supplier and vendor coordination for avionics components (flight computers, sensors, actuators, harnessing) — including incoming inspection, qualification testing, and non-conformance tracking.
• Contribute to flight readiness reviews and perform post-test/post-flight data analysis and reporting.
• Maintain avionics design and test documentation in line with applicable export control classifications and configuration management practices.
• Collaborate day-to-day with GNC, propulsion, and structures engineers to resolve interface and integration issues.
