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.
About The Role:
As anMRO PropulsionEngineeryou will take ownership of the maintenance, refurbishment, and overhaul (MRO)lifecycle of our F100engines—including acceptance testing. This is a hands-on, high-impact role whereyou’llwork side-by-side with passionate engineers and technicians to keep our propulsion systems performing at their best. If you want to learn fast, solve hard problems, and contribute directly to hypersonic capability, this is the place for you
Responsibilities:
Daily MNFRO Support Across All Teams
Contact for HOW-TO Questions, clarifications, or issues Work with users, observe usage behavior – not just reacting to tickets Identify workaround users are creating because the system/process doesn’t fit Translate user intent into clear, correct MES workflow Actively support and partner with Engineering, Technicians, Inventory/Supply Chain, and Quality teams MNFRO Configuration & Administration
Manage users, roles, permissions, core configuration and licenses Identify and resolve system misconfigurations causing operational friction Ensure workflows are intuitive, standardized, and scalable across departments Review new features that are released and perform operational impact assessments Test and validatenew capabilities and enable them into production Determine which new features benefit which group and develop a rollout plan Publish internal release notes tailored to each team Training & Documentation
Create simple, visual guides and build SOPs for all groups Conduct short, focused training sessions for all user groups Build and maintain an internal knowledge base of “how things work” across teams Drive adoption and standardization by making Manufacturo easier, clearer and more usable for everyone Train teams in advance so new releases are embraced as opposed to causing disruptions Proactive process improvement
Walk the floor and observe real user behavior Identify repetitive pain points, unnecessary clicks, confusing steps, or broken flows Assess whether issues are process/training/configuration related or product limitations Work with cross-functional partners to redesign workflows to reduce friction Validate improvements with users and iterate quickly Spot opportunities where new features can solve real problems -even before users ask for it Identify capabilities user do not know exist and educate them Maintain a structured enhancement backlog based on real observations Ensure high-quality, validated requests reach the Manufacturo produc team Conduct short, focused training sessions for all user groups Build and maintain an internal knowledge base of “how things work” across teams Cross-System Awareness
You are not expected to be an ERP/PLM admin – but you will grow your understanding
Of how MES data flow to/from NetSuite, Teamcenter, and Data Warehouse Identify mismatches and escalate with clarity Participate in testing new integrations or workflow changes across systemsHelp Digital Transformation ensure end-to-end consistency across the digital thread
